I'm making a change


I'm not sure that there are a lot of people left who read my blog, and of those who still do there may be an even smaller amount who care about this but I just have to say that I am making a change. One of the things I have been known for is being "in the know" about a lot of things in culture. Whether it's fashion, home decor or food, I am up on what's going on and this due in large part to the amount of TV I watch. I've always been proud about this; pleased that I know so much in so many areas, but recently the Lord has been showing me that it's not as great as I think it is because you see, as I have been getting more and more knowledgeable about food, fashion and decor, I have barely increased my knowledge about the Bible. And, while my relationship with my TV and the people on it has strengthened, my relationship with God and my family and friends has suffered. So, as much as I can hardly believe I am doing it, I am going on a TV hiatus. It might seem a little extreme but it's what I need to do. I'm hesitating calling it a New Year's resolution because I don't know how long it needs to last and somehow calling it that seems to cheapen it. My prayer with this change is that my new found time will be put to better use deepening my relationship with God and my family and friends and, of lesser importance, be put to use keeping my house looking the way I would like it to. A few more things which I would like to develop this year which could probably be called New Year's resolutions are drinking more water, eating less food that has little nutritional value and more healthy, whole foods, and getting into a routine of regular exercise. I hope that you all find ways to better yourself this year and that the Lord challenges you greatly and blesses you immensely. Happy New Year everyone!

I read your blog! I like to see how you are doing! You guys still in HRM I assume??? Any word on your next steps?? internships must be over is it?? Maybe if you are in HRM, we can get together. You can get my phone number from Dean's sister at Metro. Have a happy new year and I hope you learn much from your tv hiatus and more Bible time. You have challenged me to do the same.

sounds like a good idea sarah! i read your blog occasionally too. but there are rarely updates....that's why you lose readers.

Are you still tv-free? I ditched mine years ago, and could not be happier. Yes, I have lost most cultural cues... but I am not ruled by catching up on shows, and you would not believe how much less stuff I buy since I've stopped being exposed to all the commercials.

Oh, and this completely random comment comes after I came from 'A little more vinegar'... after I came from 'we're losing it here'.
