TV Comedy about a Modern-day Prophet

At this morning's Bible study, we talked about the prophet Jeremiah.  We imagined what life would be like if God called each of us to be a prophet.

When I got home, I began watching an old TV show/comedy called "Save Me" on Netflix.

It's about Beth Harper who is the mama in a not-so-ordinary Midwestern family.

After choking on a hero sandwich in her kitchen and suffering a dramatic near-death experience, Beth - an absentee wife and mother - is revived and claims she can now talk to God.  (Now she is a prophet!) 

Her teenage daughter, Emily is horrified and her husband, Tom is skeptical. To make matters worse, Tom's ex-mistress, Carly McKenna is in a coma after a close encounter with lightning in the Harper's front yard.

As Beth warms up to her new life, she strives to make amends to the people she has alienated over the years, including friends and neighbors.  Despite everyone's initial hesitancy, Beth begins to win people over with her new positive attitude, cheerful optimism and unbridled love.
