As the mother of four boys, I’ve long been concerned about the problem of pornography. Once a child is exposed to it, the images can easily lodge in their hearts and minds like a poisonous barb, leaching toxins. I thought my children were fairly well-protected. We homeschool our kids, and don’t allow them to watch much television. We know where they are, who they are with, and what they are doing 24/7. Little did I realize that my children were in danger while sitting at home, doing their homework! My eyes were opened several months ago when our teenage son told us that he was struggling with temptation because of the titles and images that came up on our internet service provider’s homepage. Every time he tried to do his homework, he was barraged with invitations to click and see. I see our service provider’s homepage multiple times every day, but I never really looked at it before that day. For me, the homepage is just the gateway to what I want to do on the Internet. It hadn’t dawned on me that pornographic photos, unsavory videos, celebrity gossip and disgusting news stories were all just a click away. What’s more, they were being advertised to my children every time they went online to play games or to do their homework. Needless to say, we signed up for Covenant Eyes that same day. It has brought a wonderful sense of peace to the whole family. Here are some of the benefits we are enjoying: I am able to block the home page entirely. The children can still go to the sites they need for school or approved online games, but there are no more advertisements beckoning them to go elsewhere online. I have control over their filter and can customize it for our family’s needs. I can set it up to always block certain sites, or to always allow other sites. My teenager feels such a sense of relief with Covenant Eyes. He earnestly desires to keep his heart and eyes pure, and Covenant Eyes has allowed him to focus on the task at hand and not have the burden of worrying what he’ll do each day when faced with temptation.
