not to be a copy cat, but… February 7, 2008
Several people I know have decided to give up TV lately. Each time I hear someone mention it, I am convicted of the fact that I spend, or rather waste, way too much time sitting in front of the TV and not enough time attending to my responsibilities, bettering myself, and, most importantly, talking to God. I don’t think I’m going to quit watching TV altogether, but I am going to seriously limit what I watch. I will allow myself to watch the show or two I actually care about and movies with my husband, but then the TV goes off and I will do something more productive. There are so many books I want to read but never “have the time” for. There are so many things that need to be done around our house that never get done because they obviously aren’t a priority to me. There are so many more important things in the world than television. How does it have such a power over me? Why in the world would I rather spend time with an inanimate object than with my Lord? It kind of hurts when I think about it. I think it’s time for a change.
I’m going through the same thing. Read my post at http://peoplepowergranny.blogspot.com. Today was harder than the first two. While at my site, vote in my poll on what is a good replacement for TV and radio and the newspaper?
