Proverbs 16:3
"Commit your ways to the Lord
and your plans will be established."
Can you believe I have NEVER had TV, Cable, or Satalite TV in my house? Before I was born, my parents gave up TV watching to read and talk more.
They are not that weird! They found lots of other things to do in life (rather than to watch other people's lives). I encourage everyone to join the TV Turnoff Week (August 21st to 27th), or if not, just try to scale back on TV dependence.
