Barbara Walters to Take a look at heaven

Last night, I watched Barbara’s look at her 10 most fas­ci­nat­ing peo­ple of 2005. At the end of the show, she pro­moted her next show which will be about heaven. The tag line is “Where is it? How do we get there?” I will be inter­ested to see if she comes up with an all-inclusive answer or does not really answer the ques­tions. She is going to inter­view sev­eral reli­gious lead­ers includ­ing the Dalai Lama, Richard Gere and others.

I was think­ing this morn­ing about a sur­vey to get to stu­dents that would tie in. I think this pro­gram would be a good start­ing point for a spir­i­tual con­ver­sa­tion. It airs on Decem­ber 20 which is not a time that will work very well with the col­lege schedule.

One final note: I was dis­ap­pointed that I could not find any infor­ma­tion about this show on abc.com or abcnews.com. I find that to be a big use­abil­ity prob­lem and a missed oppor­tu­nity when they promo some­thing but have no infor­ma­tion on it on their site. I wanted to see the two ques­tions they asked and when it aired. Noth­ing on their sites about it. I found more info by Googling “bar­bara wal­ters and heaven.” I found an arti­cle on StarPulse that gave me the basic info I wanted.
