Here is some great art created by slowing down a bullet.

This is my contemplation of that concept.

I saw this video and went….” wow, i didn’t know that could be done. So, even though it’s not my video i am putting it here and if you haven’t seen it yet, take a look. 

I read books.  All the time. Every day. Not all the time every day, but you know what i mean.  I even own a kindle and have bought one for some friends and i now have the kindle in my iphone. I read books on Physics, and comedy, and writing, parenting, economics, business, marketing, novels (sometimes), biographies, heck i even read my own book God’s Blogs 4 times.  All that to say….they all usually provide insight or information and sometimes wisdom that i can glean and learn from. But, i am taking time on this blog to tell you about one that you should read. I know a lot of pastors read this strange blog of mine, and lot of leaders do as well, so this book I’m talking about is for you too.

Andy Stanley just finished his book “The Principle of the Path”.  It sounds kind of simple. It is ….but…it’s freaking brilliant.  I think i can say freakin here. It’s just an adjective that we made up to give some zest to the word following it.  It’s brilliant because it’s about a principal that he explains that is guiding us whether we know it or not. And since that is true we need to know about it so we can use it to help us get where we want to be. Andy amazes me constantly because he takes brilliant ideas and makes them simple to understand. And they are always life-givers.

He’s written a lot of other books.  I am particularly fond of “The Best Question Ever” …mainly because that one was dedicated to me.  I read the dedication about 100 times.  But, leaders, buy this book. For two reasons.  You need to speak to your followers about this principle. And you may indeed still need to know this. We are going through some very weird times in our world and in the good ol USA…and things may not be picking back up as quickly as we hope. This book is imperative for those who may not yet understand this idea. Dave Ramsey talks about it. Franklin Graham talks about it. So does Andy Andrews. Now I am.

Just to make it interesting. There’s a video on bigstufmedia.com. It’s called happy together.  If you go watch it and tell me who the main two characters are in the video, and you are one of the first six to do so, i will send you one of Andy’s books. You also have to tell me about a book you absolutely firmly without question know i need to read…tell me that too. I’m not givin’ away these books for you to do nuthin. 

But, you will be glad you played the game.

I’m gonna put a picture of the cover here and a link to go buy it.
