It Starts Today.

Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or Non-Believer….it doesn’t matter. There is one thing we can all agree on; the quality of our entertainment is on a downward spiral. I’m tired. Tired of covering my children’s eyes whenever an inappropriate commercial appears. Tired of getting up and walking out of anticipated PG13 movies that should’ve crossed the lines to R. Whatever the rating may be, at the end of the day…I know “good” material from “bad.” I know what I should be watching and what I shouldn’t. I know what leaves me feeling peaceful inside and what doesn’t. Last night I went to a movie. It was PG13 and used every bit of that rating it could. I heard destructive language, women and men having affairs, females who were in serious lack of attire….and there I sat. I didn’t get up that time. My soul urged, and I ignored. I traded the value of my conscience to see “how the show ends.” I felt horrible inside.
Today is a new day. There is opportunity all around me. Opportunity for my family to stand for what we know to be right. Opportunity to support those few entertainment outlets who still bring good into our theatres and homes. Opportunity to walk over to my Television and quietly shut it off, no matter the popularity of the program. Opportunity to be the only one to get up and walk out of a packed theatre. And finally, opportunity to do right by myself, my husband, and those two little guys that God gave me to grace my home. It’s time to change the current. It starts with me…. It starts today.
