Something I ran across (I think I save everything…not good) from a July 2004 “Above Rubies” (available free-actually for a donation, they’re a true ministry…!) that I thought was worthy of sharing. There was a day that TV was a rare treat, but I’ve found over time, like the frog in the boiling pot, more and more TV-time creeps in before you know it. I say that on the day one of my favorites, NCIS, is on…..
The TV Psalm
The TV is my Shepherd, I shall turn it on.
It makes me lie down on the sofa.
It leads me away from the Scriptures. It ravishes my soul.
It leads me in the paths of ignorance and violence, for the sponsor’s sake.
Yea, though I walk in the shadow of my responsibilities to my family and my creator, there will be no interruptions, for the TV is with me.
Its cable and its remote control, they comfort me.
It prepares a commercial before me. It plants lies within my mind.
It anoints my head with materialism. My coveting runs over.
Surely laziness and ignorance shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house watching TV and it’s propaganda forever.
