Connie Comes to Town

Hey again! Well episode 3: Connie Comes to Town. Right out of the box the messege of this episode is to be content with what you have (get what you get and don't have a fit). Which I totally did today when my sisters picked the restraunt we went to tonight and it was my least favorite... lesson learned. Anyway, the story line is Connie (new to Odyssey) gets a job at Whit's End. She wants the job so she can earn money to go back to Califonia
(where her dad lives). While she is working there twelve-year old Bobby (a lifelong Odyssey resident) starts crushing on her and desides he is going to California with her. As you can guess Connie's not thrilled with the idea; so with a little help from Whit and Tom Riley, she is able to get Bobby to give up on the idea. However this forces Connie to stay in Odyssey a while longer and I don't think she's leaving any time soon :).

This is an important episode (in my opinoin) for 2 reasons. One, we get to meet Connie Kendall, a likeable but stuborn/agumentative high school girl. Connies pretty much stereotypical teenager, looks out for number one. The second reason is that Episode 3 shows the importance of Jesus to Whit and the community of Odyssey. As seen in the first annual Bible Bowl. Connie is not a Christian so it's interesting to see her point of veiw as she is hired by Whit to work at Whit's End.
