Is it OK if I read it, too, Scott?

Just wanted to say I think Leonard was spot on with his evaluation.

The LORD is still working with me to help me understand what kind of entertainment is a waste of time.

1 Corinthians 10: 31 says : Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
I believe the music that we listen to and the books that we read should be godly. My wife reads books by Beverly Lewis, Lori Wick, and other Christian authors. Sorry, Krispy ! I wasn't trying to veer off the subject of the thread ! Everything we do needs to be soaked with prayer ! Thanks !

 Re:

I saw my son do something this weekend that showed the influence a coach can have. This coaches attitude this year was anything but godly.

I wont go into detail what my son did during the game just in case he reads this, but suffice it to say that he should have gotten a flag for unsportsmenlike conduct. I was shocked to see him do what he did, and we butted heads about it the next day... and he found himself being severly corrected by dear ol' dad.

Thats what resulted from having sports become an idol, and being under a "Christian" coach who demonstrated less than Christian behavior all season.

Entertainment: what entertainment is simply plain fun and what is not?

You are right. This summer we went to a place I was having second thoughts about and wish since then we had saved our money..SIGH We were there before...it was fun, exciting but it had deteriorated since then...

 Re:

"Are you not children of transgression,
the offspring of deceit,
you who burn with lust among the oaks,a
under every green tree,
WHO SLAUGHTER YOUR CHILDREN IN THE VALLEYS,
under the clefts of the rocks?"
Isaiah 57:4-5

I always thought this passage had a double meaning.

Where do football players play? In concrete valleys.

What are we doing by encouraging them to play? Sacrifice their bodies.
