Great Read!

This book is great! It's a bit choppy in terms of flow, and there are a lot of excerpts taken from a message board people posted on after Nat's accident.  After awhile, those experts seemed like filler (there were so many of them) to me, and I think that was one of the things that messed up the flow of the book in my opinion.

All that aside though, Nate's story is a great testament to the power of prayer, and the healing that our God can (and does) do! Check it out if your in the mood for a little reading this summer! 

Another MUST Read....

Wonderful book! You will be left inspired, and wanting to inspire others!

SHINE ON, GABBY!!!!

A MUST Read!

Seriously, READ THIS BOOK! I read it in one sitting yesterday (obviously not a lot was going on at work after lunch). Couldn't put it down! READ THE BOOK!!!!!

Good or Bad: Just Be Honest With Me

As I continue reading, The Last Lecture by the late Randy Pausch, I got to the chapter entitled, "Don't Obsess over what people think." In that chapter (which is only a page long) he states that he told his students and those working for him that they never had to worry about what he was thinking, "Good or bad, I'll tell you what's in my head." I'm sure that took the pressure off and allowed those around him to work without that added weight.

I started thinking about how *I* worry about what people think and how others perceive me, and as I read this I started thinking how nice it would be to have those around me treat me the same way Randy treated those around him...Not to have to worry how people feel because they are upfront with me and tell me straight out if they don't like something (Granted, that doesn't always mean I'll give in and change my course of action, but at least I'll know where they stand on the issue). I often think people humor others or say nothing at all because they don't want to risk hurting others feelings or offending them.

As for myself...I'll respect you a lot more if you have the courage to just be honest whatever the case. I'll do it for you, if you'll do it for me. Sound like a plan?
