A Million Miles in A Thousand Years

I really enjoyed "A Million Miles in a Thousand Years." The book gets into gear as Donald explains how a film director contacts him to make a story about his life, and he then makes an amazing discovery -he doesn't have a very good story! The rest of the book describes what he learns about the components of a good story (in book, film, etc.) and then he applies that to his own life to create a better story; not just for his film, but for the betterment of his ongoing life.

This was a great book at a great time for me. It was helpful to look at my own story and to see how some of the dark places helped to make a better story. It also challenged me to consider how I might be more intentional about living out a better story -not only for me, but with and for the people around me as well.

This is not a self-help book with seven steps to a better life. However, it does chronicle how one man actively sought and attained a better life. And I believe it is a good book for anyone who wants to be challenged and inspired to seek a better life too.

Communication Breakdown

This morning at Calvary we continued in our "Digging In: Communion" series with a message entitled "Communication Breakdown." To grow in communion with God we need to grow in communication with God. So today we examined Psalm 119 and broke down three communication components that can help us deepen our relationship with God.

Remember the Time...?

This morning at Calvary, we continued in our "Digging In: Communion" series with a message entitled "Remember the Time..."

We discussed how remembering what God has done in our past can embolden us as we move forward and ignite deeper passion for God. And we discussed two mechanisms that can help us to intentionally trigger times to remember God.
