One of the First Episodes of the TV Western Classic, Gunsmoke………..
It has Doc Adams grabbing a gun and going after a guy who has just arrived in Dodge City and Doc knows him as a man who left his former girlfriend (Yes believe it or not Doc did have a girlfriend at one time) anyhow Doc approached the man with his six shooter in the LongBranch Saloon and was going to kill this guy for abandoning his wife (Doc’s former girlfriend who this guy had married) ……..as the story goes on Marshall Matt Dillon get’s in between Doc and this guy and says to Doc, “You are the Doctor of this Town, put the gun down, too many people count on you……and look up to you to serve them and their families…..You are the Doctor……..
Doc then put’s the gun down and walk’s away……………later Doc save’s the guys life by taking bullets out of this guy.
There is a message for all of us in this episode………
Whether you are a Doctor, Pastor, Husband/Father, Wife/Mother………..People are counting on you to use Godly wisdom in all you do………even when you are pushed to the brink………
I miss TV Shows like Gunsmoke that always had a morale to the story……….
By the way the first one who emails me and tell’s me the actor who played Doc Adams wins a KKIM Gift pack!!!!!!!
