The logo looks nice, but their site is pretty ugly !!
Turn off the TV and get into God's Word.

Here are some interesting facts:

Television cuts into family time, harms our
children’s ability to read and succeed in school, and contributes
to unhealthy lifestyles and obesity. Here are just a few of the facts:

  • On average, children in the US will spend more time in front of
    the television (1,023 hours) than in school this year (900 hours).
  • Forty percent of Americans frequently or always watch television during dinner.
  • As US Surgeon General Dr. David Satcher said at the Kick Off of
    TV-Turnoff Week 2001, “We are raising the most overweight
    generation of youngsters in American history…This week is about
    saving lives.”
