KOTH: Plastic White Female
All Jesus did that day was tell stories--a long storytelling afternoon.
Episode #11 (Rank #114) 5/11/1997
Bobby is worried because he's been invited to his first boy-girl party, where the kids will play Spin the Bottle. Luanne is worried because she has a big hairstyling test coming up. When Luanne brings home a plastic "practice head," Bobby secretly starts using it to practice interacting with the opposite sex. To Peggy's horror, she walks into Bobby's room and finds him kissing the plastic head.
Quote:
Hank: "Don't point your finger at me, woman! You're the one who parks him in front of the TV and makes him watch all them Muppets! They got frogs kissin' pigs ... what the hell did they think was gonna happen?"
Analysis:
This episode goes along way to show how perspectives can vary widely between people. Bobby's new friend is seen by him as just a tool to help him grow somewhat comfortable with interacting w/the opposite sex, while Hank & Peggy see it as Bobby's ticket to the bus headed over the edge. What is used to give him confidence & practice for an upcoming trial may seem impractical to most, but it just so happens to work for Bobby.
Believer's may experience this same phenomenon over a variety of different things seen as worldly, ungodly or just plain impractical, but maybe we just lack proper perspective & understanding. The idea of this very study may even be the epitome of this. How can we judge properly without removing all our bias, ideals based on presumption & prejudices?
Better yet is the differences in perspective between believers & The Believed. We see from such a miniscule perspective, comparatively speaking, that it isn't even funny. I mean really, who are we?
Don't shuffle along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you. Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ--that's where the action is. See things from his perspective.
From your point of view as you hear and embrace the good news of the Message, it looks like the Jews are God's enemies. But looked at from the long-range perspective of God's overall purpose, they remain God's oldest friends.
In all, it seems very vital to the moderate life to keep perspective. It's worth proves to be beyond measure & inseparable from our other treasures such as love, beauty & redemption. These seem to be interwoven into the fabric of our very nature & lose something when set free from a basing perspective.
Seeing Bobby's confidence soar after his head sessions makes me wish that I'd had 1 as a kid...
