most of what we do is done for the results:
(1) we go on diets to lose weight
(2) we ask a guy or girl out to get a positive result
(3) we study hard to get a good grade
(4) we root for our favorite team because we think that we can will them to win
(5) we give our kids what they ask for so they are happy
(6) we treat people kindly so they will be blessed be our actions
(7) we decorate the house with tons of Christmas stuff so that . . . we can . . . it will . . . well can't remember why we do that
when it comes to our relationship with Christ, a great deal of it has to do with results. i invest time in prayer and Bible study because i want to grow closer to Jesus. i want to know His heart! i want to be the man of God that my family and church needs. i want to have no regrets at the end of the day.

If you build it, they will come...
Well, maybe. The best way to get the word out about your blog is to tell people, your friends, family, neighbors. That's who you're writing it for, isn't it? Or you could write the address on a T-shirt and wear it everywhere. Even better, make T-shirts for friends, family, neighbors...They make great stocking stuffers!
Honestly, though, it's great that you're blogging and I'm glad to see that you don't seem to miss us too much. ;-)
Hi Matt,
Just wanted to let you know that I check your site regularly (you prob'ly have more readers than you realize)! You have great posts, always so uplifting and usually pretty funny too. And I love when you tell stories about the kids. Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas, tell Amanda hi!
