Reading seems like a lost art to many yet there are still many people who read.
The habits of impatience and immediate gratification we have acquired from the internet and social media have impacted our culture negatively.
The internet is now a medium saturated in mis and dis information and most of us lack the will or skills to fact check much of anything. We have made ourselves into a gullible and lazy society.
Reading offers us many things and we are blessed to be in a time were books are so plentiful.
So like our faith, like our prayer life we must be intentional about finding and making time to read. I urge many of you to just cancel your social media accounts and get your life back.
Read a book, find a place of solitude and rediscover the joy of reading! - Andy
