I discovered, with the direct confrontation of my wife, that I was becoming very angry and bitter every time I watch the news. So I decided to stop.
I still read the local paper. I still occasionally browse news websites and use iPad apps like "Zite" & "Flipboard."
But instead, I have been reading more, and watching more Netflix. And I can definitely say that I'm a much happier person now.
I'm sure at some point I'll start watching cable news again, but hopefully not for a while.
I still pray almost every night that Obama is guided by the Lord's grace and will. But I don't expect Obama to change. And since I can't change him, I'll have to change myself.
