Imposing the “No TV” Rule

It seems like this should go without saying.  Retreats are not the time to relax in front of the TV.  We get more than enough TV time in our normal lives.  But those nice TVs in the hotel rooms where we often have our retreats can be very tempting.  So one of the “suggestions” we make to the women at the beginning of the retreat is that they keep those TVs turned off, so that they can stay focused on the Lord.

How the enemy would love to distract our ladies from what God desires to do in their lives at the retreat by using the television!  These days, perhaps we should  include iPods, iPhones and other electronic distractions, too!
