Growing in 2009…Less TV more value

EVERYTHING in my life will benefit if I watch less TV every week and do more of everything else in my life. I will exchange TV for more reading, more time spent with my kids, more time with my wife, more time being healthy.

I am going to watch only a handful of TV shows every week from now on. The shows I can’t live without right now are:

1. 24
2. Bones
3. NCIS
4. Lost
5. The Office

What TV shows are can’t miss for you? What could you cut out for more quality things?

Have to agree with you on NCIS…it’s must see TV at our house too.

Also agree with you that we need to read more, watch less. The tv habit can be hard to break. As I look at my life though, I have to measure what I want to accomplish. Do I want to say I watched a ton of tv or do I want to have done something that had some value?

Good for you on your goals

  I think watching TV is killing my brain cells. I find myself thinking less overall and ones thoughts I have are less valuable.

Good to know another “lost” follower. Jason and I are all about that show. I just wish it would run during the regular season.

Our must haves are:
Lost
The Office
Biggest Loser (only me, not Jason)

  A year ago I would have spit on myself for saying I was into Lost, but now I can’t help it. I have to find out what happens!

About

I am a follower of Christ, father, church planter, and pastor.

My official title is Minister of Community Life at Connexion Christian Ministries in Lafayette, Indiana. I love to help people come into community with one another and with Jesus Christ through small groups. I recruit and train leaders to facilitate community. My ultimate goal is to see individuals develop along the leadership spectrum, from small group facilitator to coach to ministry leader.

In my spare time, I love to read, hang out with my two awesome kids, workout and watch sports. It is not unusual to see me holding a cup of Starbuck’s Coffee.
