*Don't* Keep Watching
Friend,
The next episode starts in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…
And just like that, you are in for another 42 minutes of “entertainment.”
I’m guessing we’ve all done it. Sitting on that couch or in that bed, we are too tired to turn the tv off, so we let the next episode begin. What’s the harm in that?
Distraction and entertainment have their place. Let’s celebrate art, storytelling, and human ingenuity.
But seriously, if you are too weary to turn the tv off, you are too weary to watch another episode.
Go read. Go pray.
Go to sleep.
Love,
Aaron
P.S. If your mind won’t shut off, then get a piece of paper and start writing down everything on your to-do list, everyone on your driving-me-crazy list, and everything on the oh-no-this-is-terrible list, and let your weary soul know that it is free for the night.
