    • Quotes

      Laura Ingalls: Dear Pa, I can't write what's in my heart because I can't get the words to come out at the end of my pencil. I did a bad thing by having mean thoughts, but I know how I can make it right again. I can't tell you the rest because it's just between me and God. I will always remember today. I love you all. Laura.

    #1 Episode of Little House for many, I can see why.
    I liked part 1 and give it about an 8 but part 2 gets a solid 10 from me. I won't go into what this episode is about, as many reviewers already have, but I will say that although this series had a reputation for making many viewers cry, me included, The Lord is my Shepherd part 2 made me cry the most, and if a show can do that to me, it has me for life. What really impressed me was Melissa Gilbert's acting in this one, and Ernest Borgnine as the Angel Jonathan was a great choice for the story. I often wondered if his character had some influence on Michael Landons creation of the Angel Jonathan Smith in Highway to Heaven. And one more thing. I can see some viewers didn't like this episode that much. They should get checked out by a doctor to see if they have a heart.
