Psalty is very dear to our family. Patty chose to accept Christ while listening to "Come into my heart" and Josiah can often be heard softly singing Psalty's songs. He now prefers to take his naptime/quiet time to listen the gospel as shared by this fictional blue songbook.
We as a culture are enamored/addicted to entertainment, whether it is internet, movies, music, sports, video games, etc. So how do we raise children and (husbands) lead our family with biblical values in a society that is so focused on entertainment... We are challenged by that, partly because we (Patty and I) LOVE to be entertained. We intentionally do not have cable, video games, etc. Please don't take this the wrong way or think I am condemning anyone who does have those things. What I know from our time married is that we spend much less time as a family and our kids (esp. Josiah and Levi) will be inclined towards things we disagree with. We did have unlimited Cable for about a year in an apartment and during that time Patty and I communicated less.
Challenge: Be intentional in what you allow into your home, consider the influence it has.
By the way, Patty and I compromise and make poor decisions about this constantly.

Thanks, Patrick. It has been good for us to only have Spanish TV here, as we hardly ever watch it. Last year David and I both read through the entire Bible and yes, spent tons more time together as a family. I have been pondering the last few days what it would be like to continue to be TV-less when we come home. Appropriate post from you... :)
