Pilgrim's Progress

I have tried to commit to limit the children's t.v. and movie watching more. The winter months have been getting worse and worse because of the cold outside and my body pains. But now that I'm doing better (Thank You Lord) and the weather is nicer, I've renewed my commitment.
Today Katie stayed home from school. As soon as she got up she began asking for a movie. I told her she needed to find something else (read, workbooks, play, clean, etc). It was hard for her, but she did it.
When Eli woke up the no t.v. thing was even harder. He wants to be held and cuddled or entertained by the tube. Well, I had dishes to do and I'd already told Katie no t.v. I couldn't change my mind now. So I compromised. We went online and found www.whitsend.org/radio. They play Adventures in Odyssey stories for free. I put on the speakers, turned on Pilgrim's Progress for kids and did all my dishes while the kids played quietly and listened. It was a great dramatization of the story. We all enjoyed it and I was even ministered to. I highly recommend this website.
