No TV = more God?

This week my family and I decided that we're not going to watch TV for the month of August. In addition, we are not going to watch DVDs or play video games -- anything that involves using our television set.

We were finding that TV-related activities were becoming too much of our entertainment focus, and that my eight-year-old son was more interested in watching TV than connecting with the family.

So, with our August moratorium on TV-related activities, we hope to:
  • Spend more quality time together as a family
  • Enjoy nature and outdoor activities more frequently
  • Play more board games
  • Talk and get to know each other better.
I also hope that, by cutting out the noise, I will be able to better hear God.

    That's a great plan. It sounds like a version of the media fast that I do from time-to-time. I'll be praying that you & your family connect more, and experience God in a fresh way.

    Thanks for your prayers. This is very difficult! And quite frequently we're hearing "I'm bored" from Branson. It will be worth it, though.
