Prayer Requests

I wanted to take a second and ask that you pray for a few people that are in the hospital now or will be in the hospital in the next few weeks. These people mean an awful lot to me and I would appreciate your prayers for them. Drop them a note and tell them that you are praying for them as well.

My Father – Having prostate cancer surgery on July 31. You can follow me on Twitter to get up-to-the-minute updates on my dad’s progress. Just click here.

Tami Clabo – At Duke Hospital with heart issues. You can read about her updates here.

Anne Jackson – Heart surgery in the upcoming weeks. You can read about her adventure here or you can follow her progress on Twitter by clicking here.

How do you learn?

I make it a personal choice everyday to try to learn something. Sometimes, it’s simply a fact but other times, it is a principle or a concept to adapt to my daily walk with Christ, professional life, family life, etc.

I learn quite a bit from books, blogs, and talking to people wiser than me (that includes A LOT of people). But I wanted to know how do you learn?

I believe it is imperative for us to find people who stretch our thinking and improve our overall view of life and the Christian faith.

Drop me a comment here and tell me how you learn the most?

A few blogs that help me learn and stretch:
