I’m sure you’ve heard the old adage, “Garbage in, garbage out.”  From a spiritual standpoint, there’s a lot of garbage that contaminates us.  It’s easy to listen to music, watch movies, and read books that aren’t all that bad…or are they?

What are you feeding your mind?  What are you allowing in?  What’s influencing your decisions?  What’s swaying your character?

We’re all aware that a steady diet of French fries, ice-cream, brownies, cookies, and cakes will not nourish our bodies.  In fact, it will quickly make us sick.

Sometimes I wonder if all the escalated violence in the world today isn’t somehow related to the violent games and movies.  I can’t help but think that violent entertainment has at least a small effect if not more.

What do you want to produce in your life?  Work it backwards.  Maybe you need to get rid of some garbage.  Do some housecleaning.  Change the motto to “Good in, good out.”
