This book was a recommendation from one of my mentors, Jeanne Mayo. She recommends it to everyone she knows, she’s read it more than any other book she’s read, and she gives this book out more than any other book. Obviously – I had to read it.

It was a great book that really focuses on getting your mind in tune with the Word of God. The book is based on Phil. 4:8 which tells you what your mind should be thinking about all the time. I found this book to be very practical. It provides a lot of questions to ask yourself and a lot of exercised to get your headed in the right direction when it comes to your thought life. We all have a battles going on in our minds – thoughts fighting for our focus and attention. This book will help you focus on the right ones. An excellent read, and a must for a leaders bookshelf.

Yesterday was the first time I’ve ever been to Cedar Point. We took our youth group and had an amazing time! It was the best amusement park I’ve ever been to! I have to go again!

Anyway… One thing as I’ve mentioned before that I love doing when I’m around large groups of people is just observe them! What interests people, excites them, angers them, etc. I just want to share some thoughts I have about people that I learned at Cedar point:

• Every human being craves relationships, excitement, adventure, and risk.
• People will wait hours on end and be willing to be uncomfortable in order to experience these things…
• People will pay a lot more money than they should to have that experience
• A ton of older women wear clothing that if they knew how they actually looked… they’d never wear!
• I am convinced that 98% of teenagers should not date until they’re in their twenties!

Just some thoughts from my adventure… I’ll continue on personal growth soon…
