Dave contemplates
better use for the
T.V.
-
Time Vaporizer. |
Hey if you are going to watch TV enjoy it and
get something out of your time, But don't le tit vaporize your lifetime.
Don't be a part of the statistic of watching an average of 4 meaningless
hours daily.
Honestly, we can sit in front of the TV
for two hours and take anything that comes our way. Whether it be good or
bad. The question is, when was the last time have we dug into the Bible
for two hours? It’s the focus that is the difference.
This can be an indicator in our lives
that we may need to reexamine our priorities. Ultimately, the time you spend
on anything is between you and God, but the fact remains that men and women
who have been close with God, who have been used by God, in the Bible, have been
true students of God’s word.

For every hour,
every
minute, every second you
waste watching TV is an
hour, a minute and second
you could be building on
your dream. Dave Davidson |
I challenged my Dad to cut down his TV viewing in half,
so he put a piece of cardboard over half his TV. Dave
