Early morning prayer


This morning our Life Group met at the church at 6am to pray. It was freezing, but we had scarves, mittens and blankets to try to keep us warm.  Today's devotional was on sins of commission.  It gave several verses that talked about everything from tithing to keeping our bodies fit and healthy as His holy temple to asking tough questions like 'have you become conditioned to accept pure filth as entertainment?'   

I find myself falling into the last category. The evening shows these days are getting worse and worse. After dinner, I would love to sit down and watch a funny  comedy without having to send the kids out or go to our bedroom. I can't think of one that we watch that doesn't say a curse word. When did cussing become cool? We tell the kids all the time it makes people sound ignorant, but then it's all over the TV?!? Sooo frustrating! Richard and I have gone back to watching some of the older shows that seemed more pure; Gillian's Island, I Love Lucy and good ole America's Funniest Home Videos, which the kids love! Thank God for cable and having the option to watch things that truly are funny without having to be filthy!
