Entertainment is the devil's substitute for joy.
-- Leonard Ravenhill
You will show me the way of life,
granting me the joy of Your presence
and the pleasures of living with you forever.
-- Psalm 16:11 (NLT)
IF MY PEOPLE... WILL? I WILL! God's Promise in 2 Chron. 7:14.

That's a great quotation!
It really got to me.
This makes me think of the root word of "amusement", which is a synonym for entertainment.
"ment" - the act or state of being"
"muse" - meditation, think deeply
"a" - without, not
So I guess saying "I am not amused" is a good thing :)
Great word study Camelot. Grateful for your insight!
