TV?

Bless all of our hearts. Really.
That's how I have felt lately anytime I turn on the TV. Way too much swearing, people who forgot to get dressed all the way, and just plain worldliness. yuck.
I'm not sure how I feel about it. My husband and I talked about it the other night- whether or not we want to have televison/cable for our kids. Neither of us think it's a very good idea. There are some positive things to TV, but it seems like the bad is starting to out weigh the good.
I'm not a huge TV watcher, but there are certain shows I do like to watch:
Biggest Loser
American Idol
Dr. Phil (some may chuckle at that but I really love his show! Yes, my friend and I even went to it once)
Sports Center
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (with my little girl!)
But, regardless of these good shows, I just don't know if it's worth it. Even commercials are becoming very suggestive and offensive. It makes me cringe to think of what it could be like in 10 years.
A couple weeks ago we were watching American Idol and their coach that week was Lady Gaga. (the name should have been warning enough) What in the world!?! Is she what this world has come to? She was practically wearing pannies, a shirt with chain things on it and high heels. Then if that wasn't bad enough her face was ridiculous. black paint around her eyes? Seriously, bless her heart. I was upset that this "family show" had someone like her on there. My husband and I just kept looking at each other like "is this real? are people like that?" If "sheltered" is what I am then I'll stay that way! Anyway, it actually made me really sad too. Satan is having a hayday out there. People are so so so very lost.
On the bright side, my husband and i love love love sports and we enjoy watching them together. Some of TV is very inspiring and motivating. The other day on the BYU channel we watched a documentary on Del Parson and his paintings of the Savior and it was very neat and spiritual.

There are pro's and con's to everything in life and this is something I have pondered lately. As a mother and homemaker of the home one of my primary responsibilities is to make sure my home is a place where the Spirit can dwell. I take that very seriously. In the bible dictionary it says that only the home can compare with the temple in sacredness. wow. that says it all. that tells us exactly how our homes should be and how important and sacred they are.
So, as I've been writing this, I think I have an answer. It's amazing what writing things out can do.
What are your thoughts?
