Share Your Goals and Watch Others Nail Them!

Jon Acuff

I’m reading an advance review copy of Jon Acuff’s next book, “All It Takes is a Goal.” I find Jon’s books and seminars to be a massive help in motivating me and setting important goals. When I got the chance to get a copy and join the launch team, I jumped at it!

The other day while reading, I came across this confession from Jon about a goal he once set for himself and then abandoned after FOUR D Read more of this blog post »

Procrastination Proof by Jon Acuff
"Great, short, practical book on procrastination. It's more geared for procrastination on tasks that get you towards big dreams/goals, but a lot of the advice within applies to all forms of procrastination. Don't put off reading it."

The Divine Conspiracy by Dallas Willard

Clear rating
I have complicated feelings about this book, which probably means it was worth reading.

Dallas Willard’s The Divine Conspiracy is widely regarded as a modern Christian classic, especially in the world of spiritual formation, discipleship, and ministry

“In an earthier style, the African American preacher Johnny Ray Youngblood, whose lapses and deficiencies were well known to his congregation, declares: “This thing [the Word of God] is a two-edged sword. It whips back and cuts the hell out of me and then comes forward and cuts y’all. And the truth of God’s Word is not predicated on my lifestyle. It is predicated on God’s word itself. He sends sinful men to preach to sinful men. I’m just another beggar, tellin’ other beggars where to find bread.”
Fleming Rutledge, The Crucifixion: Understanding the Death of Jesus Christ

“Epidemiological evidence suggests that a new influenza virus originated in Haskell County, Kansas, early in 1918. Evidence further suggests that this virus traveled east across the state to a huge army base, and from there to Europe. Later it began its sweep through North America, through Europe, through South America, through Asia and Africa, through isolated islands in the Pacific, through all the wide world.”
John M. Barry, The Great Influenza: The Epic Story of the Deadliest Plague in History

John M. Barry
“In most life forms, genes are stretched out along the length of a filament-like molecule of DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid. But many viruses—including influenza, HIV, and the coronavirus that causes SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome)—encode their genes in RNA, ribonucleic acid, an even simpler but less stable molecule.”
John M. Barry, The Great Influenza: The Epic Story of the Deadliest Plague in History

“There are three different types of influenza viruses: A, B, and C. Type C rarely causes disease in humans. Type B does cause disease, but not epidemics. Only influenza A viruses cause epidemics or pandemics, an epidemic being a local or national outbreak, a pandemic a worldwide one.”

“Spain actually had few cases before May, but the country was neutral during the war. That meant the government did not censor the press, and unlike French, German, and British newspapers—which printed nothing negative, nothing that might hurt morale—Spanish papers were filled with reports of the disease, especially when King Alphonse XIII fell seriously ill. The disease soon became known as “Spanish influenza” or “Spanish flu,” very likely because only Spanish newspapers were publishing accounts of the spread of the disease that were picked up in other countries.”
