I watch cop shows. I do not know why but I love them; maybe it's the mystery or the suspense, I am not sure but I love them, and so does my family. We can always sit around on a Saturday afternoon and watch "Burn Notice" together. About 90 percent of the shows we record are cop shows, but-- as much as I am intrigued by murder mysteries-- my absolute, hands-down favorite television show is "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition."
Though Ty Penington's boyish charm is entertaining, I adore this show because it gives me hope and evidence of the light of Christ. Watching this show makes me think of Zion: everyone pitching in their skills, time, and maybe money to help out others in the community who are in need. This is the type of program I believe Heavenly Father inspired whoever invented television to invent television for- if that makes any sense at all (not that anyone is reading this to find sense in it anyway so I guess I am just writing it to help me feel productive hah that works for me!).
Though I know that all the cop shows I watch are 100 percent fiction, fiction is always based in fact, right? Therefore those psychopaths I watch for entertainment are actually out in society threatening peaceful living- now that is a frightening thought. Watching "Extreme Makeover" reminds me that Christ does have an affect on the world: whether people are LDS or not, everyone is born with the light of Christ...and that is an encouraging thought. :)
