I started watching Star Trek back in high school mainly because Jerri Ryan was wearing spandex but now that I am a college graduate I appreciate the show for more than just a women wearing spandex.  Star Trek gives me hope that mankind will perceiver and overcome the problems of today and thrive in the future; where wars are no longer used to settle differences and the scarcity of oil is replaced with a new fuel source.  

We all need to find something that gives us hope.  Star Trek only fills part of that void.  It is my faith that fills the rest.  However, I could really use a little bit more of Star Trek and faith as I leave for seminary and decide the course of my life.  It's been a rough week...
