Let's get started with the Holy Bible , God's written Word !

The following words are from our Savior , Jesus the Christ: 

John 3 :16 " For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. 18 Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. 19 And this is the verdict: The Light has come into the world, but men loved the darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever practices the truth comes into the Light, so that it may be seen clearly that what he has done has been accomplished in God .'

----------------------------------------------------------------
     In today's world , people of all ages - from tiny children to the elderly - have access
to various screens , be they on televisions , phones , computers or movie screens. With all
of these screens filling the nations , we need to consider what we are allowing those screens
to show us. We need to screen the content of what we choose to see , and what we allow
to continue to see that was brought to us without our consent. An example would be if
you chose a wholesome program to watch , but midway through the program a sponsor
or the network showed something that is quite contrary to the wholesomeness that you
chose to watch. You'll have to make a decision : " Do I continue to watch a nice program ,
knowing that poor quality commercials could appear ; or do I change what I see on the
screen ? " Making a choice to prefer wholesome content is screening what you see or hear.
If something is unexpectedly brought to your attention , you can do a deeper screening
and choose to "stay or go " based on that new information.  Remember to consider if others
will be affected by what you are seeing or hearing. You may need to put their needs and
wants ahead of your own , especially if there are age considerations. Choose wisely !!

Below is a screen shot of a reply that the Lord and I , Peridot Path , made on
charismanews.com.
May these words give you pause to consider the ramifications of what your are

watching and hearing , and if you may need to hone your screening with God's help.

Here's some interesting TRIVIA via Wikipedia :

The state of Rhode Island was one of the thirteen original colonies that helped to establish 

the USA.

" On May 4, 1776, the Colony of Rhode Island was the first of the Thirteen Colonies to renounce its allegiance to the British Crown . "

" The state boycotted the 1787 convention which drew up the United States Constitution^[12] and initially refused to ratify it;^[13] it was the last of the original 13 states to do so on May 29, 1790. " ^[14][15] 

Rhode Island , aka " The Ocean State ", has exemplified their unique history

on its official state flag . It bears thirteen gold stars , along with an anchor and the word " Hope ".

News story : 

" In 2013, the "Lots of Hope" program was established in the City of Providence to focus on increasing the city's green space and local food production, improve urban neighborhoods, promote healthy lifestyles and improve environmental sustainability. "Lots of Hope", supported by a $100,000 grant, will partner with the City of Providence, the Southside Community Land Trust and the Rhode Island Foundation to convert city-owned vacant lots into productive urban farms." ^[125]
