Not even a hint

Was reading in Ephesians this morning because I was again convicted about my tv viewing habits. I was thinking about what I do in a day that's any different from a person who does not claim to be a Christian, and I don't know that there's too much on a regular basis. There were bad attitudes and such that came to mind that I know I need to work on, and am...but also came to mind the little habits that I excuse. As one author puts it "the little foxes that spoil the vines." Mike and I like to watch two tv shows regularly, "The Big Bang Theory" and "The Office." Whenever I tell people that I usually say, "They're kinda nasty, but..." Now what place do I have watching tv shows that I introduce that way? So God and I decided this morning that they're out. So's "Friends" I guess...and anything else that might fall into those lines, although those are the only ones that I really watch with any regularity. *Sigh* So much for evening entertainment. There is pretty much nothing decent on tv anymore. And those two shows were maybe the only thing Mike and I had in common that we liked to do together. I'm not exaggerating here. Would God excuse "obscenity, foolish talk, and course joking" in favor of marital camaraderie? Probably not...The other thing is that now I have nothing to look forward to. Pathetic, no? I've always been someone who lives from one happy anticipation to the next and if I don't have something, I tend to get depressed. Now you understand why I start Christmas decorating in October; sometimes I'm desperate. I know it's bad to spend my whole week looking forward to tv shows with dirty humor...but...well, I guess that's just more evidence that I need to give them up and find something new. Maybe I really should take up knitting.
