Grit

I'm meeting with a good friend at work to discuss professional development type stuff. We've been friends for a long time and personally have a lot in common. In our first meeting he discussed a book, Grit by Angela Duckworth. He's going through the book right now with his team and thought I'd like it … Continue reading Grit

Did It Make Sense?

I mentioned the other day I'm reading The Awe Of God by John Bevere. In this morning's reading of the book he mentioned several stories from the bible where things just did not make sense at the time but it became an "Oh" moment. Moments such as Jesus turning water into wine. It made no … Continue reading Did It Make Sense?

Awe

And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.” - Isaiah 6:3 I just started a new book, The Awe Of God by John Bevere. This morning as I read the book I was really hit by Chapter 6 which is titled: Beholding Him. There are … Continue reading Awe

Courage

Right now I'm reading Courage - For Perilous Times - Life Lessons from Esther - By: Mark Clements. I could not recommend the book more, each chapter leaves me wishing to keep reading to see what is next. I typically read about two chapters from the book plus the chapters it is referencing in the … Continue reading Courage

Faith

Right now I am reading a book titled Crazy Faith by Michael Todd. I've had this book for a while and before buying it was on my list for a pretty long time. Pastor Michael Todd is a pastor I enjoy listening to on YouTube from time to time. The summary on the back of … Continue reading Faith

That Settles It!

I try each Wednesday to write something encouraging. It is not because I'm the most encouraging person (there's way too many to list) but to help me remember and document encouragement I've received during the week. I want to document here that I finally finished a huge goal. I've mentioned wanting to be more of … Continue reading That Settles It!

Surprised

I can never spell the word surprised! I mean in my mind is it spelled suprised or surprised? I can tell by the red squiggly lines it's the second one. Ok, there's several words I can never spell (I'm thankful for spell check and red squiggly lines). ....I'm digressing, let's get to it... Right now … Continue reading Surprised

What I’m Reading

I've mentioned trying to develop more the habit of reading. I'm still reading Killing Jesus by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard (I'm a slow reader). I have grown up in the church and hearing the story of Jesus's crucifixion but reading this book and the way the story is presented as history has been very … Continue reading What I’m Reading

Reading Habit

I mentioned the other day about trying to add habits to my life. One of those habits is reading. I'll post a picture of what's in my reading pile right now. I try to read my bible most days and if I have time another book. I just finished 3:16 by Max Lucado (highly recommend … Continue reading Reading Habit

7 More Men Book

I want to do another quick book suggestion. I picked this one up last summer on sale. I was a bit concerned after doing some research that the "more" part of the title meant it was a continuation from another book 7 Men. It is a continuation but can read it separately. It looks at … Continue reading 7 More Men Book
