The Hour

Somehow or another, the other night I ended up watching The Hour with George Stombopololopolous. I like George, but I don't often get to watch it. It just so happens that he had Billy Graham's daughter on the show, Anne Graham Lotz. I'd never really heard of her before, and I was a bit surprised that she was there. Her intro was actually kind of cool, in that it sort of sounded more like something her people would have put together, rather than his. George seemed a little unsure of himself during the interview. There was quite a bit of nervous energy, and his questions seemed a little basic, at least not the depth you'd expect him to ask of other guests. And he gave her a lot of latitude to preach, and I think she did a fairly good job. I don't think that the people who normally watch that show are in her usual demographic, but for the most part, I think she was able to get a decent salvation message across, one that probably would have made sense to some degree for the average person unfamiliar. So, I applaud George for being respectful with his guest. I'm sure the temptation was there to ask her something awkward are put down what she was trying to say. I would've liked him to ask her some questions that he actually wanted to have answered. That would have made the segment much more interesting.
