It's so much easier to scan the quick-hitting tidbits. Thanks for the heads up on Piper's essay.<BR/><BR/>P.S.

It is absolutely overwhelming to me. <BR/><BR/>We are truly blessed to have such easy/quick access to so much information and benefit from it in many ways. But in some ways I think it is more of a curse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080491.post-1120016143737685262005-06-28T22:35:00.000-05:002005-06-28T22:35:00.000-05:00And another thing...What to do about Al Mohler and...And another thing...<BR/><BR/>What to do about Al Mohler and his epic daily blog entries? I know he probably uses research assistants, but I can't imagine turning out content at the pace he does. I appreciate his thorough approach, but personally I don't often have time to read his online pieces. I wonder if other people do?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080491.post-1120015886892937392005-06-28T22:31:00.000-05:002005-06-28T22:31:00.000-05:00Good thoughts.

Furthermore, I'm dismayed to realize that I least often read the longer, meatier articles I come across online. Reading extended articles online quickly becomes tedious. (I'm starting to save these longer articles, print them as booklets, and read them later as one way of addressing this problem.)<BR/><BR/>I've been glad to see that you don't seem to feel obligated to post constantly in this blog space. You let the content drive the posting--a good habit. Thanks.<BR/><BR/>John Piper has a brief but good essay on "Computer Unreality" in <I>A Godward Life, Part 2</I>. He warns about "the hook of constant curiosity," something I think many of us web junkies have felt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
