Several seeks ago I shared with a Bible study group that lately, I’ve been feeling so much anxiety, with gut-wrenching worry as I watch the evening world news. I really didn’t WANT to watch the constant bad-news stories, but at the same time, I also couldn’t NOT watch. I think some would call it an addiction, but I don’t categorize it like that. My friends that evening at Bible study all knew exactly the feeling I was having, and most of them said they just don’t watch the world news anymore. But I want to know what’s going on in the world, at home and abroad. However, since that conversation, I have tried to watch less news and instead, fill that time with something else—walking the dog, for example. I’m also trying to read some kind of “uplifting” news daily to fill my head and heart with happier thoughts.
