Microwaved Inspiration

It has been a while since I (Matt) made any posts to this blog. I appreciate Sarah's faithfulness in keeping it up to date.
Many wonderful things have happened in our lives recently. I will write more about those at a later time. For this post I will simply focus on a new habit I have developed. Most of you who know me very well know that I love to be inspired by great ideas and to wrestle with unanswerable questions, but I don't have much patience or endurance for reading. I have never been much of a reader and most of the books on my shelf have bookmarks in the second or third chapters. The stack of books that I would like to read is only growing larger and the amount of time I have to read them seems to be shrinking by the day. So I have developed a new habit that seems to have helped me in my pursuit of inspiration. I have begun reading more blogs. I discovered that most of my favorite authors maintain blogs. Most blog posts are reasonably short and get to their point quickly. This is a winning combination for me the guy who is looking for inspiration and ideas but isn't able to dedicate the energy required to finish books. In the future I may occasionally post comments or reviews of other blogs that I found to be particularly interesting. So if you're just subscribing to find out the latest on Connor and Sarah feel free to ignore my posts, you won't hurt my feelings.
Note: This does not mean that I have given up on reading books, I still desire to make it to the bottom of that "To Be Read" stack.
