TV- Why Waste Your Time?

I was just talking to my mom when the subject turned to TV. How many of you watch TV-a lot. I used to! Then- after a series of "to hard to explain" events- we stopped. I mean, we still watch a little TV every now and then, but not much, because my brother has the only working DVD player in his room and we don't really have anything to watch. Well anyway, once we were at church and the paster was preaching on...... something- I don't remember exactly what- but then he told us something that shocked me (even though it shouldn't of.) He said that the average person spends 14 YEARS watching television. 14 YEARS!!! And 4 of those years are commercials. That makes me mad. I guess the only one I can blame for watching so much TV is me- so I'm just mad at myself- but after hearing that I really don't want to waste my time watching it. My mom says she'd rather us go out and have fun with our own life (obeying God all the while ) than sit and watch someone else live there's. I totally agree. I know some of you probably don't watch TV at your house- and are glad that you don't!- but those of you who do, I encourage you to try not to do it too much. Why waste your time in front of box?! Go out and live life!
