Top 8 Reasons to Watch Television

Some people would never need a reason to watch television in order to do so. Some need to take a break. Some are taking a break because many of us see the unwelcome dangers that television-viewing impose on you & your family. You can read a nice anecdote about that here. Still, I have always viewed television as a valuable tool and here is what for:

• I can find amazing music on televison that I'd never find while listening to that thing that plays the same three songs all day (the radio).


• At any given moment, there is something inspiring and educational on, with channels like The History Channel, The Discovery Channel, The Traveling Channel, GODtv, The Church Channel, Trinity Broadcasting Network, Gospel Music Channel and many others.


• Sometimes, all you are lacking is a little static noise. Have you ever been the type who works more efficiently when there's just some type of sound in the room, whether one of those nature tapes or some music?? What works well for many is having the televison on; it can help you to focus on the task at hand.


• Watch the news!! The Bible says, many times, Watch. It doesn't say to watch the news but watching the news will help you to watch what's happening in the world as we near the Day.


• Television gives perspective. Many different people of many different walks of life write the stories, act in them and air them on television. Something you thought you never would understand may suddenly come to light. This also means there's something for everyone and you'll realize how, even though there's only ever gonna be one you, your current situation is not unique; you're not alone..ever.


• Movies and television shows that you may have liked in the past will often come on, even if you'd forgotten about their existence. Many people enjoy watching television shows that they watched as a kid or younger adult. This also gives perspective, as, having gained life experience and personal growth, you will view them in a different light.


• Spark your creativity that's been simmering inside with channels like HGTV, Style and The Food Network.


• When you can't be there, television is one way you can feel like you were. From sports games to a weekly sermon, no matter where you are in the world, the television can connect you to where you aren't.
