I’ve never been a big fan of mainstream news media. I cultivated a hatred for it when covid came on the scene but it was long before that that I was tempted to throw bricks through the t.v. That wouldn’t have solved anything, just added to areas where marital discord exist. However, I was compelled to seek out the news due to a recent time change — spring ahead. If you aren’t familiar with this, you’re blessed. For the entirety of my life I can not understand why we are made to physically suffer twice a year with time changes, but in most of the United States of America, (and more places in the world than I realized), we are made to do so. It was this time change, seeing different clocks with different reports, that spurred me to turn on the news on Sunday morning and discover what time it actually was. That’s when I accidentally caught one of the best stories I have ever heard — and the miracle is that I heard it on mainstream news media. I was so moved I cried. You can watch what I saw by going to the link below. This story was also featured in the Atlanta News First 12-20-23 whose headline was Mother’s last words inspire act of compassion.
I know that mainstream media occasionally features stories like these but since so much of it is negative, I literally forgot that they were capable of reporting positive news. It does appear as though our society is following a cesspool of thought in which extreme toxic daily doses enter people’s homes through the nightly news — which can now be watched 24/7 due to glorious technology. Imagine what our world would be like if instead of crime, disease, bad politics, and feeding the great divide, the “diet” of mainstream media focused on unity, cures, the generous, the forgiving, and politicians who thought more of their constituents than themselves. What I think we’re in need of are feel good stories, news without rhetoric, the love of Jesus, and a continuous intravenous drip of God and His Word. I hope you’ll join me in making a positive deposit into somebody’s life today.
