Hello and Welcome to Entertainment Good For the Soul,
I am embarking on something new. As much as I enjoy some TV, I have grown increasingly disgruntled with some of the content being offered by Network TV and the Hollywood Establishment. I have also, of late, desired to pick up my old "good" habits such as reading, Bible Study, music/worship to experience not just positive growth as a person but also as a Christian. How does one stay hopeful and positive in the very dark world we are living in today? I ask myself this daily. Especially when one fills so much of their time with activities that, while entertaining, do not lift up the spirit in any positive or life-changing kinds of ways.
While I have no intention of shutting down my original site, RTV Fanatics Unite, which was born out of a love for all things Survivor, I would like to try something new. Provide a space for people like me. Those who enjoy TV and Movies, and Music but want to be uplifted in a positive way through these types of entertainment outlets. There are lots of faith-based and positive choices. They just aren't prevalent on Network TV. You must seek to find them, just as we must seek daily the hope of Jesus that lives in each and every one of us; even those who have not yet met HIM.
In the words of Jesus himself in Matthew 7:7"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you."
Enter... "Entertainment Good for The Soul"... a new site which I hope will find an audience of people like me. People who enjoy the entertainment world but would like to find a more positive message in the entertainment they choose for themselves and their families. It doesn't necessarily have to be "faith-based" to have a positive message. But it is becoming more difficult as time goes on to find a positive message in most of what the Hollywood establishment has to offer.
I would like to establish the following in the way of Blog Sites:
Devotional: Instead of the Daily Chat I currently have going on the RTV site; this site will have a Devotional page. I will give some kind of "devotional" or "food for thought" on each page daily which would then be a jumping point for daily discussion.
"The Chosen". - Season 3 of this amazingly well done look at the life of Jesus and his Disciples will be released at some point soon. Perhaps we could take some time to re-watch or to experience for the first time, or just take the time to discuss this amazing series before the new season is released. I have acquired devotional books and study guides based on the series. That way, we can dedicate a blog page to each episode complete with the questions about the episode that will help us understand the TRUTH contained in a deeper way. The show itself is free and easy to stream so anyone can play along who desires to look deep into the life of Jesus.
"Faith/Family/Inspirational Movies": Be it the occasional Network Show that provides some good family fun; maybe Great American Family/UpTv/Hallmark, or maybe some of the content that can be found on streaming sites like "Pureflix". "Up Faith and Family" or "Encourage TV", or even the occasional good movie released in theaters, there are options out there that are not too bad. You just have to find them. This blog can be a place for us all to share what we have been enjoying lately.
"Music Corner": So many wonderful, positive messages in music. This could be a place to share some of our favorite songs, video's, etc.
