It broke my heart, I told my son that some of us church people are so isolated in our wonderful church services and perfect, blessed lives that we can easily forget about what so many face everyday. Maybe it wouldn't hurt any of us to make ourselves watch some of the realities other have to endure all the time. Maybe then we could get our priority right and stop worrying about meaningless things and start reaching a lost world. I want to do better.

Not saying "media" does not help teach lessons but the stuff in the mainline world of entertainment? No thanks! Our kids should learn the reality of life by oursides, helping others in need. They should see how to deal with the realities of life through our own love toward others. If we need a daily TV to show the horrors of life then we are failing in our daily work to show the love of God to those who need him and our children witnessing it and it transforming there minds and hearts.
