Shocking news, this just in... You can live without a T.V.  It has been a week and a few days and it is going good.  I have started to read a book, do more scrapbooking, exercise and have fun around the house.  It was different at first but really helped was canceling the cable and moving the T.V. out of the living room.  I am reading a book by Max Lucadp called "A gentle thunder".  It is GREAT.  For preachers it is like a little sermon in each chapter.  It teaches you how to hear God during the storm of different places in your life.  To hear how Jesus heard God in his complex life.  It is good.  I could learn to like this reading stuff.  The nice thing is we stopped watching T.V. between seasons so we don't know what we are missing and that is okay.  I will keep you posted on it but I see this being a long time thing.  Even our youth pastors are trying this.  It is awesome.
