I don’t know of anyone who couldn’t improve in the area of delegation. If you Want it Done Right, You Don’t Have to Do it Yourself by Donna Genett is a great book that puts forth 6 principles for effective delegation. As I read this pint sized book, I realized that every time I had a problem in delegating it’s because I had violated one of these principles. I’m not going to tell you what they are because I think you should buy the book 🙂 I was challenged by the book and highly recommend it.

Book Review: How to Win Customers and Keep Them for Life
How to Win Customers and Keep them for Life by Michael LeBoeuf was given to me by a friend and it’s not a book that I think I would have picked up off a shelf and bought, but it had some good insights. The book is about sales, but underneath that there’s some excellent insight into how people think and what makes people tick. Being in the people “business” so to speak, I was very intrigued by his observations of people. Here’s a few great quotes from the book: – “A typical business only hears from 4% of its’ dissatisfied … Read More

People who want to know God will put up with a lot to find Him. – Mad props to our setup team! They were directing traffic better than the cops that … Read More
Quotes I Live By – Part 4
“Sometimes you don’t pick the book. Sometimes the book picks you.” I heard that line from the movie ‘The Hurricane’ starring Denzel Washington. It’s the story of a boy who reads Reuben “The Hurricane” Carter’s biography and it ignites a course of events in his life that change him (Lazro) and Reuben forever. I read a lot and I read a lot of books that are good, some that are lame, and a few that are great. But there’s this other category: the books that move me. These are the books that meet me where I am and speak to … Read More
Parades
If you’re coming to Calvary Fellowship this weekend, there is going to be a Veteran’s Day parade that starts at 10AM which is going to limit access to our theatre.

There won’t be any roads blocked until after the 9AM service starts. #2 – Click this link and follow the turn-by-turn directions on how to get the theatre. It’s not that big of a deal. I would leave home a couple of minutes earlier to make sure you get there on time. We’re … Read More
Goodbye “Devil”
This report was funny. The Tampa Bay Devil Rays have decided to drop “Devil” from their name and just go with “Rays”. For a team that is always finishing in last place, taking the “devil” out of the equation has got to be a step in the right direction.
Quotes I Live by – Part 3
“You don’t know someone until you know their story.” A Christian counselor I know told me that and it totally changed my perspective about people. There’s a reason people view the world the way they do. Some people don’t understand why a guy like James Dobson is so passionate about families, until you learn his story and realize he was adopted. A person’s story paints how they view the world and wise is the person who learns a person’s story to truly understand them.
