As many of you know I rejected Television several years ago. We currently do not have a TV in our home. Although we do own one that we keep at the ranch and occasionally bring home to watch a movie 3-4 times a year. I have come to realize that Television has become a huge problem in our society. People avoid socialization to get home to their "favorite show" and what does our entertainment say about our faith. Does it draw us closer to God? My goal for this next year is to read more, write more and do more. My challenge for you is to attempt going 2 months without a TV in your home. I mean zero television. If you are recoiling at the idea and saying to yourself "I don't watch that much TV" Try it. If it is not that important that two months will be no big deal. If it is a big deal then why not start the New Year on a path to a more vibrant life.
I recommend two months because it takes one month to get over the withdrawl pains and another to find something to do with all that time and energy. Seriously Try it what is two months? What are your giving up? Not to mention think of what you could do with that $50 a month cable bill.

I think this is an absolutely wonderful idea, and I am planning on moving the tv to the garage, or a closet, or somewhere down the street.
Anyway, thank you for the inspiration.
Good Luck!! I can honestly say the first few weeks Cyndi and I found ourselves staring at each other on the couch thinking hmm what do we do now. I used to think sitting watching TV with my Wife was quality time. Enjoyable time yes, but quality not in comparison to a board game or a discussion of what we are readign or just talking while watching the kids at the park.
