4:27PM Prediction: Jennifer is the next one voted off, leaving Ian, Tom & Katie. Ian, out of the “goodness” of his heart (a.k.a. LOVE for Katie) can’t vote for Katie because of an earlier “promise”, puts a BLANK vote in and in-turn gets voted off himself, leaving Katie and Tom to fight over the million. Tom wins $1,000,000 by a jury vote.
WE SOON SHALL SEE.
Woke up late this morning, did some apartment-cleaning, and am now enjoying “Escape from Alcatraz” – one of my favorite Clint Eastwood flicks.
If I ever have to escape from prison this movie has definitely given me some GREAT ideas on how to do that!
Jess and I headed to Ft. Wayne last night after work – we headed to Kay Jewelers to get our rings inspected and cleaned (an every 6-month chore to keep our warranty up-to-date). After ring-cleaning and mall-walking, we ate at the Olive Garden. Yum.
When we got home, Jess and I finally got the chance to watch our taped Amazing Race finale. Uchenna & Joyce deserved to win for sure, though I really wanted Rob and Amber to win another million! Oh well.
Dr. Steve Lennox is our guest speaker tomorrow. I’m looking forward to that. Tomorrow night we have our annual church conference.
Today, over a ham & cheese Pizza King sub, I finished my latest book: “The Revolutionary Communicator”.
Written by Jedd Medefind and Erik Lokkesmoe, I was a bit timid about reading yet another RELEVANTbook, but was pleasantly surprised at the quality and depth that this book allowed me to experience.
The book is written from two communicators perspectives, focusing on seven principles that “Jesus lived to impact, connect and lead”. The seven principles were the seven chapters, with a final concluding chapter to wrap the book up in a great 165-page hard-bound book. The seven principles:
001: Attentiveness
002: Seeking Connection
003: Asking Questions
004: Authenticity
005: Storytelling
006: Solitude
007: Defining Success
I did gain a lot of good stuff from this book. I found myself highlighting often with the hopes to work some of my newly-gained insight into sermon points one day. Some great quotes are found within these pages, and the authors are definitely scholars in the sense that they’ve done their book-homework for sure!
One “annoyance” again in this RELEVANTbook were the numerous typographical mistakes found in these pages. Numerous as in atleast 4 that I could turn back and point out. Kind of makes the book feel “cheap” when on the page before Chapter 1 begins, a quote is found with the word “in” replacing the correct word “is”.
Lookie what came in the mail yesterday:
