Thank you soo much for this post! I’m a teenager in high school, and I’m trying to do my best not to fall into the sinful ways of the world. I really want to stick with God through good times and bad, no matter what. I am hoping to build my faith, and I think that reading this has really encouraged me to come closer to Him and learn more about His Word. Again, I really appreciate you posting this.

God Bless,

No TV huh? Awesome!

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond to my post in such a thoughtful way! Your transformation of your time sounds so refreshing! At first I was worried, though, that I wouldn’t be able to apply your life lessons, mostly because I don’t watch TV. I haven’t my entire adult life, so I don’t really know what I’m missing (we rent movies but don’t get any TV channels).

But then I realized that a lot of what you’re talking about deals with sacrifice, and a “tithing” of your time. Just because I don’t watch TV doesn’t mean that I use every moment of every day wisely. Your section on listening really struck a chord with me–I tend to always turn on NPR while I’m cooking or doing dishes, and I could be listening to God part of that time, instead.

One other thought I had for some reason, as I was reading your post, is that I’m very extroverted, which applies to my faith as well as how I work and have fun. I really should make an effort to spend more time praying and studying the Bible with others, regularly. That would also bring some built-in accountability.

Thanks again for stirring my thoughts and ideas!
