Get the most out of your HDTV

Be still, and know that I am God
Peace
Beauty
Serenity

This is what I continue to experience in the mornings from my TV of all places. My living room, the grey local light creeping in, is bathed in the sun's warmth from halfway around the globe. Discovery HD's Sunrise Earth is, in my opinion, one of the greatest, most beautiful shows on TV right now.  The cinematography is amazing.  The tangible sense that you are out in nature on some remote corner of the world, or possibly watching the sun rise over the Vatican or a silent Siberian village.  It is calming, serene, and awe-inspiring.  Although not always silent, the stillness can be deafening.

So, my recommendation is, turn off the morning edition of Sportscenter, turn off Mike and Mike or Today or Weather channel.  Take a moment while you're scarfing your granola and yogurt or eggs and bacon, switch over to Sunrise Earth, and soak up the beauty of God's creation.
