You may be wondered to yourself why do I do what? Well the answer to that question is why do I pay so much for cable TV when the vast majority of what is shown is absolute crap. Actually that is an insult to crap, crap smells and looks better than most of what is shown on television these days.
This week CBS is premiering a show that I guess would be its answer to ABC’s Desperate Housewife’s, which is quite a fitting title considering the shows content. While I rarely watch TV these days especially anything on the major networks, other than sports, it seems that the vast majority of Television has been completely overtaken by the evil one.
Even watching something as innocuous as a home improvement show on HGTV or DIY these days one is often subjected to watch a pair of overt homosexuals or non-married cohabitating heterosexuals have their house redone. Should I be watching this? Does my participation in the viewing of these shows desensitize me to the easily assumed sinful setting in which the show resides?
Honestly I’m just tired of having it put before me by my own doing. I’m the one who pays that cable bill, I’m the one who can turn the channel or turn the TV off entirely. But part of me looks at that option as being akin to sticking my head in the sand and ignoring what is going on around me. Didn’t that approach get us to where we are today? Certainly I can write a letter to my cable company, to the TV station, and to the advertisers but honestly where & what does that get me?
The Word of the Lord tells me to gouge my eye out if it causes me to sin. I think it would be much easier for me to gouge the Cable TV out of my house. Scripture re-written for modern time would say that is better for me to enter the kingdom of heaven without Cable TV than to pay for it monthly only to be thrown into the fire of hell.
I long the day when we can watch what we want, when we want, via the internet, it thankfully isn’t that far away. After all isn’t that how the business model works with books? I choose what I want to read, and when I want to read it.
With that being said I thank you for taking the time to read my published thoughts maybe someday people will even want to pay me for them, but for now, the best things in life are still free 
Lord keep a correct sense of right and wrong within me. May I only watch what you want see and read what you want me to learn. Amen
