Reading is a creation of Satan!
Through the first 25 years of my life I had read one book. Yes, you read that correctly, a grand total of one and that was in 5th grade. I hated reading. It was not that I could not read, it was merely a great disdane toward reading.
The year I turned 26 I made a New Years Resolution to read the Bible, start to finish in one year. I figured, if Satan could create reading, who is to keep God from using it to his benefit, right? By the end of that year I had officially read my second book.
My opinions on reading did not change, however. I still hated reading and felt it was an absolute waste of time. I knew that it could definitely increase vocabulary but so could reading the dictionary and no sane person does that. So I again decided to stop reading (Does reading one book count as being a “Reader”).
The biggest reason I hate reading is that I have ADHD, who would have thought. Like Mark Hall from Casting Crowns says, I passed that test with flying colors.
The second reason I hate reading is that reading is anti-social. People sit in a room with other people and stare at paper with words on it. Why not talk? Could talking to other people really be so bad?
With these reasons in my bag, I began to tell people how much I hated reading, and began to convince them of the same.
And then…Steve Collier!
