Thanks for the first comment of my blog re-launch, Craig.

I'm not sure how the skimming thing is going to work for me either. As I said, I've never been good at it. Yet I remember in one of my early weeks of seminary, Dr. Doriani told our class that one of the best pieces of advice he could give to us to help us succeed was that we should learn to skim books and do so judiciously. By that, he meant we shouldn't merely skim every book, but that it would be appropriate and even advisable for us to do so once in a while, given the amount of reading we would be expected to do over the following years. And he's an author too.

Maybe you could simulate the UPS diet at your part-time job if it could be arranged for you to move around heavy boxes, continuously, for several hours at a time. Talk to your boss about it.

A really good start on your blogging more resolution, Nick. I'm glad you feel your want to write more, as I for one think you have a lot of thoughts worth reading. I like the redesigned blog, too. Something as simple as format change can help.

You're going to have to help me with the skimming of books attempt. As an author, that goes against everything I stand for, but then again, I wonder how many more books I could at least stick my nose in if I learned how to do this.

Your financial analogy at the end of your post was insightful. I need to think more about that. The UPS diet sounds good, too, but I've already got a part-time job.

Press on, friend.
