As some of you know, Christine and I don't have cable and only watch videos on our television. Given my natural propensity for watching mindless shows in large doses, this has been a very important decision for our family. And when I'm away on vacation and suddenly have access to TV, I'm reminded over again why we have forsaken the Tube, and why many believers should seriously consider doing the same. (NOTE: I would never say must since there is nothing inherently evil about television...and TV is not a stumbling block for everyone....though it most certainly is for me). Still, how wonderful it would be to pull the plug and use our time and money in much more profitable ways. To help further this case, may I recommend two articles that I came across the other day:

John Piper: Why I dont' have a television and rarely go to movies

Jim & Amy Spiegel: Some Benefits of Life without television
