Sunday night Angie and I sat down and watched a couple episodes of an HGTV show on their website.  Now I’d say it’s been over a year since I’ve seen HGTV anything since we don’t have cable.  What happened Monday was a whirlwind  for me.  Helped install rain gutters and take apart an old shed, replaced some living room furniture, installed a window treatment, washed the house, not the car, the house, cut the grass for a undecernable length of time with the only indication of how long it took being that I ran out of gas part way through.  I would have taken down some wallpaper too, but decided on a nap instead.

The influence of the shows had a huge motivational impact on me that day, but what if I had watched something else?  What if I’d watched some shows on video games?  What if I’d spend more time watching something that motivates me for God?

So I’ll put the question to you.  What are you letting influence you?
