When will Odyssey address the issues of what is going on in America now? I think it would help children understand why there is so much patriotism in the USA. The many signs about united we stand and In God we Trust so on. It would be an excellent opportunity for the show to show how our faith is helping keep America strong against evil. There are many examples in the bible that could be used. Just wondering when they may tackle this very important issue in 2002. -Submitted by Mark Smith

Wow, what a question! I have just made the reference that what you are referring to is September 11th, 2001. I don't work at Focus on the Family, so I don't really have a concrete answer for you. But I will say now that Odyssey doesn't run on real time. For all we know, Odyssey could be still back in 1998... or 2000... or sometime way into the future!

As a matter-of-fact, AIO has addressed patriotism on the show previously, but not emphasized it all the time. I think it would be really good if AIO addressed this issue in a way more often. Even if they didn't do the 9/11 stuff, I think they should find a way to "hide" little references to the event in the episode. Don't ask me how they would do that, but anything's possible!
