Praise the Lord for small favors. Our TV in the living room “burnt out”. It just did not work any longer. When you turned it on, all your saw was a line or two in the center of the screen and there was, also, no sound. I wanted to see our favorite show, “The Saint”, starring Roger Moore. Every ten o’clock in the evening we watch it and then go to bed.
There was another color TV in the office we were not using so I quickly hooked it up to our antenna and “box” so we could watch it. We found out the color was crisper than the old one and although the screen was smaller, it did not seem too small.
The next day I tried to figure out how to wire the DVD player and also the VCR to it. I quickly drove to the nearest Radio Shack and they sold me something called a modulator, which enabled me to hook up a DVD to the old TV.
Now I had to figure out how to wire the VCR also. I called my brother-in-law and he suggested a type of splitter, which I had. I used it and now I was back into business: both the DVD and VCR were now hooked up to the TV and worked.
Everything is by grace including advice by people and old TVs that still worked. It even had a remote and now I can go back and watch my “Touched By An Angel” episodes again. I know the latest thing is all these gigantic flat screens with brilliant color but I was happy to have this old color TV.
