I like to watch the National News a few times a week to keep up on the outside world and whether or not it is still in existence. But, there are times when the News is too much for me to handle: The floods and fires, the political wrangling, the latest big name to be charged with sexual misconduct from 20 years ago, the latest auto recall, food-borne sickness, the rising cost of drugs and the law suits against drugs which kill, maim and destroy, the horrific school, church and business shootings, the most recent criticism of our leaders by overpaid athletes and Hollywood celebrities.........and the list goes on and on.
I wonder how the newscasters can read these stories night after night, but then I realize that for the money they are paid, they can probably endure reading just about anything. The "finally...feel good story" at the end of the broadcast must be what makes all the rest of the news palatable. I doubt it!! And so, I decided yesterday to swear off the National News for a while and as it happened, today I had to work in our Passion Play Holy Land later than usual and returned to the motor home just before 6pm........and the news was already over. God's timing was perfect, and no temptation whatsoever to even turn on the television for that "final...feel good".
THANK YOU, LORD.
