A Minute Before Friday

Jonna Lightfoot MacLaughlin is a great character to follow.  She inspired me to be a journalist for all the right reasons.  She was a great reporter because she pursued all the details of her stories, seeking every source that she could. She did not give up when her sources turned her down and refused to talk, instead, she continued to seek the truth.  This not only transferred into her work but also into her spiritual walk with God and her relationships with her family and friends.

On the downside, Lightfoot let her emotions get the best of her.  As she became vulnerable with David and began to be attracted to him as the “nice guy” that he was, she was led to believe things that were not true because of her emotional connection and self-doubt about relationships.  She became stubborn to those whom she trusted because someone whom she did not know (Secretary Sharon) put the wrong assumptions in her head.  This created barriers for Lightfoot in her reporting and relationships.  Although this did make for a great twist in the plot and conflict for the characters!
