When a faith healer and preacher, Sister Ruth (June Carter Cash), comes to town, she is initially at odds with Dr. Quinn (Jane Seymore), disregarding the need for medicine. Dr. Quinn soon wins her over and the two come to a mutual respect and understanding.

Dr. Quinn and Sister Ruth enter a home where Mr. Cole (Johnny Cash) is lying in bed. Mr. Cole sits up to the side of the bed and Dr. Quinn examines his heart with a stethoscope. He says, "I haven't breathed this good in years. I don't know what you did, Doc, but it's a miracle."

"Well, I wouldn't know about those. But there's someone waiting to see you who does."

Dr. Quinn leaves Mr. Cole and Sister Ruth alone. The two are attracted to one another but in a brief conversation he says he needs to be left alone because he has business to settle. Sister Ruth leaves the room and goes outside where Dr. Quinn is waiting. She tells Dr. Quinn, "You done a good job, Doctor. He's as ornery as ever. You're blessed with the healing touch. No doubt about it."

"And so are you, Sister Ruth. You taught me something about the power of belief. Faith and medicine go hand in hand. I won't be so quick to dismiss it next time."

"You believe in God, Dr. Quinn?"

"Yes, yes I do. I feel him with me every time I deliver a baby. Every time I look into my children's faces. Every time I lose a patient, and every time I save one, I feel him with me."

Shirley's mother comes to visit her from California. Shirley has a hard time trying to cope with her mother's unmet expectations of her.

It's late at night and Shirley and her mother are wearing bathrobes and sitting on the sofa. Shirley tells her mother, "Mom, tell me the truth. Did you like my party? I mean, I'm older now. We can be chums. Be honest with me."

"Okay chum. I was disappointed. You're still with shore patrol and bowlers and sewer workers and Iggly and Squiggly from upstairs."

"Lenny and Squiggy."

"Yeah. Well, I know that life, Shirley. I married your father. Oh, yes, oh, yes, we were very much in love. But after five years of marriage he went back to sea and I'm trying to make a life in California at this weight. Listen, you marry one of those guys and you're going to end up trying to eat your way to happiness like me."

"I think I'm old enough to pick my own friends."

"But are these the kind of people who can help you get ahead? You should be looking for a better class of friend. (Laverne had walked in unnoticed, stopped, and had a hurt look on her face.) And it's not impossible. I mean, look at your friend Rosalie Pyshkin. She married a college man."

"Well, sort of..."

"I mean, she could have helped you marry a college man, anyway. She could have found one for you. But no, you wanted to stay with your friends. Shirley, look, I came out here to see how you're doing. Is this it? I mean, I'm supposed to go back to California and say to my friends, 'Ho, ho, Shirley lives in a cellar. She works in a brewery. Hah, hah, she has no ambition. Hah, hah.' Is that what I'm supposed to say? Why can't I go back and say, 'Oh, Shirley has found a wonderful man. They have a lovely house in the suburbs. And her life is going up, up.' Well, Shirl, what's it going to be? Is it going to be the good life or bimbo city? Well, come on Shirl, do you have an answer for me? Can't you say something, Shirl, something?"

Shirley has nothing to say. Laverne, who had been standing by unnoticed, says to Laverne's mother, "Oh, give it a rest, huh!"

Laverne defends Shirley and the mother later has a private talk with her daughter and sees the error of her ways.

"Laverne and Shirley": The Need For Reconciliation

Lenny and Squiggy move in together into an apartment upstairs from Laverne and Shirley. Before they finish unpacking they get into a major disagreement and Laverne tries to reconcile their friendship.

Laverne and Lenny are in Lenny and Squiggy's new apartment. Unpacked boxes are all over the floor. Laverne tells Lenny, "Look, you and Squiggy made a deal to be roommates, right?"

"Right."

"So you get into a little fight the first night, so what?" As she speaks, she brushes Lenny's hair with her hand, then looks at it aghast as she realizes how much gel she now has on it. "You guys have been friends all your life. You're a natural pair. You're just like Heckle and Jeckle."

"All right, Laverne. You tell me this. If Heckle had flushed Jeckle's best shirt down the toilet, don't you think Jeckle would punch Heckle in the stomach?"

"But if Heckle had a good reason ... what am I talking about? You're not birds. You're human beings."

"Maybe you're right, Laverne. He was driving me crazy. He's such a phony. I mean, look at the way he combs his hair. The way he dresses. Who's he trying to impress?"

"You got me there, Len."

"I'll tell you the worst thing about trying to live with Squiggy. He starts rubbing off on you. It was spooky, Laverne. After six hours in this apartment I was actually starting to talk like him."

"Well, he can't stay with us. Either you take him back or he goes out onto the street."

"You're going to throw him out like a piece of garbage?"

"What do you care? You're a loner. You don't need friends." She rubs her greased hand onto the back of Lenny's T-shirt. "From now on, you'll hang out alone. You'll play cards alone. You'll bowl alone. You're right. This is the good life. Live it up." She walks to the front door.

"Hold on a second, Laverne."

"Yes?"

"Maybe I'm kidding myself. I mean, he is my best friend."

Lenny goes downstairs to the girl's apartment and makes up with Squiggy.

"ABC News Presents: 25 On 20/20" is journalist Barbara Walter’s best and most memorable interviews over 25 years on the ABC newsmagazine 20/20 and from her specials.

Several shots of Michael J. Fox and his wife posing for photographs are shown. Walters begins: "Even people with so-called ‘charmed lives’ have shown their mettle when confronted with challenging circumstances."

Fox is sitting down with Walters and says, "I just feel like I’ve been in God’s pocket for so long that I just didn’t think I was going to be hammered with this. I would find a way to live with it, to learn from it, to deal with it, and I have."

"You’re 30 years old and the doctor says you have Parkinson’s."

"I was shocked. It frightened me."

"What did you say to yourself?"

"I said, ‘This is going to be an interesting journey. This is not gonna be boring.’"

"You don’t dwell on this, do you?"

"It’s absolutely pointless to dwell on it. It’s like worrying about what the weather’s gonna be tomorrow."

"You don’t consider this a tragedy?"

"Not by any stretch of the imagination. It’s my life. My life is so filled with positives and so filled with blessings and so filled with things that I wouldn’t trade for anything in the world." Several photos of Fox and his children are shown.

In the next scene, Christopher Reeve is taking off his suit jacket, running, and transforming into Superman. Walters says, "Christopher Reeve, ‘Superman’ of movie fame. What irony." Reeve is flying above cornfields holding a boy. "This fine actor and great athlete became immobilized from the neck down in a horseback-riding accident in 1995. I did the first interview with him 4 months after the accident. I had no idea what to expect." Walters is sitting in front of Reeve, who is in an elaborately fitted wheelchair. "I found a man whose body was paralyzed, but whose mind and spirit soared." She asks Reeve, "And you think you will walk again?"

"I think it is very possible I will walk again."

"And if you didn’t?"

"Then I won’t walk again."

"As simple as that."

"Either you do or you don’t. Just play the hand you’re dealt. Sometimes you get a lot of face cards. Sometimes you don’t. But I think the game’s worthwhile. I really do."

"ABC News Presents: 25 On 20/20" is journalist Barbara Walter’s best and most memorable interviews over 25 years on the ABC newsmagazine 20/20 and from her specials.

In the "9/11" segment, Walters travels to Saudi Arabia. "In an effort to understand the origins of the hate that caused 9/11, I traveled to Saudi Arabia, the homeland of 15 of the 19 hijackers and the birthplace of their leader, Osama Bin Laden." Walters is wearing a head scarf and is walking in a crowded open market. "It was a mysterious world. We traveled south, and found Muhammed Alshehri, the father of two of the hijackers, who was unable to accept the awful truth about his sons." The Arab man is sitting with Walters and photos of his two sons are shown. Walters says, "The U.S. investigators, the F.B.I., the Justice Department, say there is no doubt that your two sons were on the plane that crashed into the World Trade Center."

Through an interpreter, Alshehri answers, "That’s what they believe. That’s their opinion. But I don’t see any hard evidence to prove that my sons were involved in that crash."

Back in the open market, Walters asks, "What is it about the culture these men grew up in that could have spawned such bigotry and hatred?"

Walters is then in a library with 3 young men in full Arab dress. "I spoke with 3 university students who were schooled in the same southern province as four of the hijackers." She shakes hands with the first two but the third one does not raise his hand. "You’d rather not shake hands? I understand that."

She sits with the 3 and says, "I have a copy of a textbook. It says if you look into any crisis, Jewish people have a role to play. Have you been taught this?" They all say yes. "Do you, in general, feel that the Jewish people in history, are people who are essentially bad people and cause problems? Do you feel that, Muhammad?"

"Yes, I feel it."

In a voice over she says, "And these are the educated young men."

"Love's Enduring Promise" is about a family of faith who live on a farm in the early American frontier. They face mishaps, challenges, and major life decisions, but their faith and guidelines for living give them wisdom for every ordeal.

Clark Davis is in his barn speaking to Nate, his farmhand, about Nate's personal struggles and tragic past. Clark tells him, "Your family had a lot to deal with. And it must have been awful hard."

Nate responds, "When a tragedy happens, a real family pulls together. Mine ripped apart. My ma, she grieved herself crazy, and she went back East. My pa, he just quit. So I left home six years ago."

"I imagine you got your reasons for coming back now."

"I got some things that need to be said. Then I came close to going home, and I couldn't face my pa." Almost in tears he continues. "Not after I left like I did." He regains his composure.

Clark gets up and walks toward Nate. "I saw your pa today, son. I don't know what happened between you two. I do know you're never going to step out of the shadow of your past until you see him."

"Did you tell him about me?"

"That's not up to me."

"He probably doesn't even want to see me."

"I saw a man with a face full of regret. Seeing you. Talking to you. That might help him put his past to rest."

"I suppose you think I'm a coward for running the way I did."

"The way a man grieves, that's a personal thing. But I do know there are times when a man can be driven to take a trip in search of answers."

"And if that man doesn't find the answer he's looking for."

"Most often we're not looking for answers. We're in need of comfort. And for me, the only trip worth taking is when I kneel to pray. All the comfort I could ever ask for is right there. In God."

DVD Scene 8 "Nate's True Identity". 49 minutes 26 seconds - 52 minutes 07 seconds.

"Nine Lives" is a series of nine loosely connected vignettes of nine women. Each vignette portrays a significant and deeply emotional moment in the woman's life.

Maria (Dakota Fanning) and her mother (Glenn Close) are in a cemetary having a picnic in front of a tombstone. Maria had just eaten her favorite food - a bunch of grapes. Her mother is standing in front of a large tree and Maria comes out from behind it. "Can I get up on the tree?"

"Oh, I don't think so, honey."

"Just to there. Just that branch."

She helps her up to the top of the trunk between two branches. "Got it?"

"Yes."

"All right, now, don't stand up, 'cause it's dangerous."

Maria settles down. Her mother puts her arms out to bring her back down, but Maria says, "Just a little longer. I'm taller than you up here, and I'm all grown up." Her mother strokes her bare foot. Maria then plays the "I spy with my little eye..." game with her mother.

After the brief game the mother walks back to the picnic blanket. Maria gets down on her own and sits on the blanket. She puts her hands in front of her and the two play a hand-clapping game. The clapping gets faster and faster and suddenly the mother sobs for just a moment. She takes Maria's hand and says, "I'm tired, honey." She places her head on Maria's lap and Maria strokes her hair.

The camera then pans out across the cemetary. It soon returns to the mother, only this time she is alone in front of the short tombstone and is folding her blanket. She gets on one knee and stares at the inscription. After a moment she takes a bunch of grapes from her bag and places them on top of the tombstone. She pauses again for a moment, then picks up her bag and walks away. Film ends.

The athiest only has his dreams. People's need to be re-united with their deceased loved ones is incredibly deep. Through Christ we have this blessed hope.

"Bless The Child": Spiritual Warfare

"Bless The Child", with Kim Basinger and Jimmy Smits, is a supernatural thriller which delves into the world of spiritual warfare. A child is chosen by God to bring many people to him. One of Satan's servants named Erik Stark concocts an elaborate scheme to persuade the child to follow Satan.

Maggie O'Conner (Kim Basinger) visits a Jesuit priest (Ian Holm) for spiritual advice. He tells her, "The Devil's greatest achievement is that people don't believe he exists. Nowadays the concept of evil is politically incorrect."

"Then how could someone actually recruit people to worship the Devil?"

"Only a secret inner circle practice traditional Satanism. But Erik Stark and other groups like his are spreading a powerful message. God does not really exist. Therefore, we can all make up our own rules. Come with me. I've got something to show you." He shows her a somewhat unclear picture of people being tormented by demons. Then a clear picture of a demon. "These visions that you've seen have all been seen by others throughout the centuries. Accounts of demonic attack are common in all cultures and religions."

or Made For Another World

"The Question of God: Sigmund Freud and C.S. Lewis" explores the most basic and meaningful questions about life with the views of Freud and Lewis being the template. A panel of thinkers from various backgrounds and beliefs discuss questions about the existence of God, love, and death.

A boy is carrying a decorated box. The actor who plays C.S. Lewis narrates: "Once in those very early days, my brother Warren brought into the nursery a box, which he had covered with moss, and garnished with twigs and flowers." Warren slowly opens the box, revealing a colorful world of small plants and figurines. C.S. Lewis (as a boy) gazes at the contents. "That was the first beauty I ever knew. It made me aware of nature, of something cool, fresh, exuberant. Everything seems like a dream. Anything seems possible. All sorts of ideas float through your mind."

Now the actor playing Lewis is sitting at a table speaking to the camera. "It was something quite different from ordinary life and even from ordinary pleasure. Something, as they would now say, in another dimension. It was a sensation of desire. But before I knew what I desired, the desire was gone. The world turned commonplace again."

The program narrator says, "Throughout his life, Lewis would often remember the feeling aroused in him by the toy garden. He named that feeling - joy."

Professor James Como, Rhetoric and Public Communications professor at York College, City University of New York, comments: "There’s a pang of desire that the garden brings back. As though he once was someplace, which is now beyond his reach. It’s lost to him. And he wants desperately to return to that."
