With What Are You Filling Your Moat?

I happened across an article the other day about Google’s business strategy. Uh, yeah. Not exactly light reading, and not the kind of article I normally spend time surfing around the Internet for.

Am I Too Familiar with God?

I’m reading Charles Stanley’s book, Listening to God, on my Kindle.

And the Winner Is…

The contest is over, and we have a winner. The choice was tough, though. We read so many wonderful descriptions of men who epitomize the idea of a cowboy – fathers, friends, uncles, grandfathers, and even sons. The publicist who coordinated the contest suggested that everyone get a book! Unfortunately that wasn’t possible, so we had to pick one winner. …
