Plugged-In.com: Know What Your Family is Watching

My husband and I are usually very selective as far as what we allow ourselves to watch, whether that be on television or the big screen. Though there have been times we have unknowingly ended up in awkward situations with this type of thing, we have only ourselves to blame. That is because we have found a great tool to guide us in our decision making these days. This "tool" comes in the form of a website, www.pluggedinonline.com. First, I'll give a little background information on this Web site.

Plugged-In is a branch of an organization called Focus on the Family. The founder and chairman of Focus on the Family is a man named Dr. James Dobson. Dobson is very qualified to head up something of this sort, as he has had years of experience in a variety of areas. Dobson was an Associate Clinical Professor of Pediatrics for 14 years, served at the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles for 17 years, he has a PhD in Childhood Development from the University of California, he is a licensed psychologist, and he has written many, many books, which have quickly become best sellers. All of these things are only in addition to his regular radio broadcasts. These radio broadcasts are actually how the website was "born." The Focus on the Family radio broadcasts began in 1977, and are somewhat of an umbrella, so to speak, for the other ministries under it. All ministries, of course, are basically geared toward the idea of having a godly family life.
