I am passionate about leadership. Specifically about leading men. Perhaps this could lead to a further interest in becoming an Army Chaplain? My grandfather was a chaplain and I do have a desire to serve my country. I also enjoy the rigor of staying physically fit.
I am also quite interested in the media. Specifically, I get fired up at all the filth on prime-time TV. Such a travesty that people choose to "check-out" mentally and settle for such debase entertainment. I remember the good ole days with family sit-coms like Family Ties, The Cosby Show, and The Wonder Years. The very few family sit-coms on now usually make the dad out to be a crass, passive buffoon (hardly a role model) while the mom usually takes the leadership role and frequently belittles her husband. Of course most of the shows aren't sit-coms. They are mostly CSI/Law and Order type shows. I can't stand these shows either. There's so much violence and sexual content throughout. Absolute junk-food for the brain!
I think I get so fired up because I spent the past ten years working in TV and know just how powerful a medium it is. It is very powerful. It is a tool that can be used for good or bad. Unfortunately most of Hollywood has lost its moral compass. I am convinced that prime-time programming (on the major networks) is the primary driving force behind our country's moral decline. It is that powerful!
Perhaps post-seminary I will be doing something to effectively influence mainstream media for Christ. Now that's exciting!
That is exciting. We so desperately need Christians to take over tv.
