I remember our first VCR. I also remember the huge video camera. You had to be strong just to catch that special moment. Today things are so compact, cameras on your phone, tapes as small as candy, etc. Life is always changing. The television has changed tremendously since my childhood, especially the content. I remember the TV as a piece of furniture, now for some it’s art. Regardless, the television is at the center of most of our lives. I’m guilty of scheduling around the Cowboys or my favorite sports teams. If I remember, I record my favorite programs. Jagee and I will watch it later. However, what happens most of the time after everything is ready, the kids are in bed, the dishes are clean, and a Dr. Pepper in hand. I sit down and hit play to find something else has been recorded! Man, I hate that especially when it’s my fault. I wish I could time travel to get it right.Time Travel! I wish I could go back in time or Tivo my life. I would play things back and make corrections as needed. However, my focus would not be the content of the TV. Rather, it would be related to my life. Our lives are full of comedy, drama, tragedy and not to mention reality TV. Just come over and eat with us to experience reality TV. I’m not sure what your viewing habits are but I know we all would like to change things from our past. I have experiences I would rather have chosen another “channel” or delete it entirely. With regret, I can’t change my past. However, I can change today and tomorrow.

I’m not sure if you were present this past Sunday but for me it was an amazing experience to write things on a piece of paper and ask God for forgiveness. Then to place the paper into the water and see it disappear. I’m grateful we serve a God who loves us and paid our debt in full. I’m so grateful to be FORGIVEN!
