Your Child and Your TV

An essay on "Your Child and Your TV" is now available online at

www.mikesnow.org

Years ago it was distributed widely through the homeschooling office of Dr. Moore and others. Elisabeth Elliot also used it for one of her radio programs.

 

The essence of the essay:

I will walk with integrity of heart
within my house;
I will not set before my eyes
anything that is base.

–Psalm 101

 

Hmmm

I did not word the above notice clearly and fear that many may have misunderstood.

The article, "Your Child and Your TV", is posted in its entirety to read at the above link. I hope people did not take 'available' as meaning 'for sale.'

And anyone may freely quote, copy, print [just copy and paste it to your word document], etc. If you print for distribution, all that I ask is that you note, "Used by permission. See www.mikesnow.org/"

Or if you want a copy of the original tract, just send me a SASE [self-addressed, stamped envelope] For my address see 'contact' button on the link above.

 

I did so because most of the interest in this topic came from home schooling families and from the late Dr. Raymond Moore, the father of the homeschooling movement.

It was homeshooling families that saw the importance of the subject for Christian famiilies, and distributed the tract to their friends and churches.

That was great, John Deere. [Incidently, my John Deere ( 4240) is the only tractor that I have trouble with in the winter if I don't use plenty of power service or some no 1 if it goes below 0...that darned glass filter on the side...now i keep it covered so it gets heat from the block]

We were blessed when my kids were growing up...nine years with the National Park Service where you did not get TV reception. [I considered one job at Death Valley where it was a 40 mile drive to get your mail.]
