People stay home from church and watch TV, but I just found this article in the NY TIMES that states being in church will make you happier!
"Happy People Watch Less TV, Study Shows

"Researchers at the University of Maryland found the one activity unhappy people do more than happy people is watch TV. The New York Times reports:
"We looked at 8 to 10 activities that happy people engage in, and for each one, the people who did the activities more — visiting others, going to church, all those things — were more happy,” Dr. [John] Robinson said. “TV was the one activity that showed a negative relationship. Unhappy people did it more, and happy people did it less.”

I think a good application of this would be to: Cancel your Cable TV, Go to church and Use the money you save to support a missionary!
Too hard? How about...Your missionary giving should be at LEAST as much as much as you spend on cable TV and video rentals. Still too hard? Well, nobody said being happy was going to be easy!
