scripture

 

Romans 13:11-14

And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature.

thoughts

 

The average US household watches 494 minutes (8hr 14m) of television a day.  (Nelson Media Research)  That comes out to 3458 minutes (57hr 38m) a week. 

Over a period of an average life span of 75 years, that amounts to over 13 million hours of life being spent in front of a lifeless box. 

Are there not better things that we can be doing with our time?  Most technology is obsolete with a few years anyway. Why not invest in something that will provide a return?
