Book I Just Finished:
Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools
By: Tyler Staton
Audio Book Link - Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools
Review: This book is raw and real. Allow me to explain. In the book Tyler shares a story from the Bible in Acts 12 where the apostle Peter has been arrested and is scheduled for execution. The night before, a local group of believers gather together to pray for a miracle and consequently Peter is freed from prison by a visiting angel. It truly was a miracle. However, at the beginning of the chapter King Herod Agrippa begins to persecute the church and has James (John’s brother) killed with a sword. James was likely arrested just as Peter was, put in prison, and scheduled for execution. It’s also likely that this same local group of believers gathered to pray for a miracle on James’ behalf. However, no miraculous visitation came for James, and he was brutally executed with a sword. Why was Peter freed from prison, but James wasn’t? Why does God answer some prayers and not others? These are hard questions that we are all faced with throughout our lives. Tyler gives practical teaching to help us sort through these and other questions. He also shares great ideas on prayer routines that are simple and easy to implement into our lives. It’s a quick and easy read that I truly think you’ll love.
Next Level Move:
Wedding anniversaries are special and deserve to be celebrated especially when you hit 50 years together. Some couples celebrate by traveling the world, others give expensive gifts, and still others keep it simple by celebrating with close family and friends. What this man did for his wife of 50 years is next level! You’ll love this read!!
Quote I’m Pondering Right Now:
“Too often, we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”
- Leo Buscaglia
I love this quote because of its simplicity, power, and because this is exactly how Jesus lived. His is a life worth emulating.
YouTube Channel I Watch Daily:
I love exploring places I’ve never been and being surrounded by nature. If I have a “bucket list” place I’d love to visit it would have to be Switzerland with Italy a close second. Though I can’t visit these places anytime soon this channel takes me there through stunning drone footage accompanied by beautifully relaxing music. The link I shared is one of several videos shot from all over the world. This video is Switzerland 4K - Cinematic FPV. Get ready to be amazed. Enjoy!
A BIG Thank You!
I’d like to express how thankful I am for each of you. I recognize there’s lots of great content out there and that your time is valuable. That you would use a little of it to read my thoughts and stories means the world.
