Dying to Live is really all about "living"

I started this blog to help others die to the things that are keeping them from truly living. I talk about everything from taking every thought captive to making healthy choices when eating. I have been on this journey for over 15 years now and finally decided it's time to share it with others. Come join me and learn why we must die in order to truly LIVE!

TV Challenge

How's your week of choosing to not watch TV going? 

Remember as Zig always says, "You are where you are and what you are because of what's gone into your mind...You can change where you are and change what you are by changing what goes into your mind."

The American Academy of Pedriatrics, doctors have warned that TV viewing can lead to violent behavior, obesity, apathy, lower metabolism, decreased imagination, constipation, and even death-in the even that the TV should topple over and fall on the child.  But this is the first time the association has called for an outright ban.  The study also said that the average child is subjected to 14,000 sexual references on TV a year and is exposed to $2 billion worth of alcohol ads in other media annually."

And remember it's not just because of the kids...you need to be careful of what you are putting in your mind.....if you do choose to watch TV.......... why not try filtering it through this....

"Finallly, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these things."  Phillipians 4:8

Blessings!
