Ok, my husband came home from work and announced that the TV was leaving our home and might not come back.  I calmly picked my chin off of the floor and responded,"Great, but the kids watch educational stuff from the library and.."

Well, we negociated that the children can have a tv in their room, with no cable, to watch edu.videos and play an old nintendo for rewards.

This was awesome I thought, but I never thought it would be this awesome.....

It has been two weeks since the TV went Bye Bye!  And all I can say is....I never want it back!  It is amazing how peaceful my home is, how the whining is at an all time low, and the children seem to be playing much better with eachother. All of this from the removal of the TV?

I guess, or could it be that we are changing as parents....I have much more quiet time, bedtime goes much smoother, and I seem to get so much more done...it is amazing! Mommy even took a nap!

My dh is reading some great books and applying them to fatherhood, and the children aren't begging for the latest toy out on the market....No Comercials!!!! 

We are convinced that TV is a big contributor to Christians conforming to the world...it's funny to hear our family and friends comment on our decision...almost as if we have lost our minds!  But listen, we are to be set apart...salt and light.  So not only is our home life changing, but our view of the world.

I challenge you to just do it...say Bye Bye to the TV!  A watch God change your family too!
