A Short One

contrary to popular opinion, i have not fallen off the face of the earth.

nor have i let this blog "die."

i've just been on vacation.

yes. since April 25th i've been on vacation.

...

anyways, i've been reading a great book recently called "Good to Great" by Jim Collins. it is brilliant. i am loving it. i have to keep myself from highlighting every line. clearly and concisely written, Collins presents great principles that can be implented practically as well. i can't help but think about Cru this year as i'm reading through and reflecting on my past experiences as a leader and working with other leaders.

u know how some ppl's heart rates pump faster when they read a great fictional novel? apparently a business book does it for me. ew. i'm such a nerd. i think that's pretty unappealing. i may have just dashed any chances of finding a girlfriend amongst the female population that reads this blog.

other great (fictional) books i would recommend that i've recently read/am reading:
- The Kite Runner
- The Known World (also currently in the process of reading).

maybe i'll give a little bit of a summary later on.

i feel like i'm blogging just for the sake of blogging right now.

i'd also like to dedicate this particular posting to Lyds, who was excited that i was blogging again even though i told her this post may be 'weh.'

um, ok.

that is all.
