Bragging Rights

I am so proud of my three boys. They are the best boys ever! Each one of them has different gifts, and I love that about them. This has been a big week for them and I want to share their wins.

  • Gabriel, the oldest, is a 7th grader. He made the highest score on a reading test for the whole 7th grade only missing 1 question. He has been reading on a post high school level for a couple years.
  • Adam scored his first touch down today. He is shining this year in flag football. His team won today 34-0.
  • Noah made 13 tackles and was the captain of the defensive team today. His team won today  7-0.

I am so thankful God gave Bryan and I these wonderful boys.

I recently saw this book among a pile in a picture that Brandi had on her blog. Since I can’t remember the last time I read a fiction book, I decided it was time for a break from curriculum, leadership books, and self-help books.

The story grabbed me from the beginning. I thought I had figured out the ending, but I was dead wrong.  If you are looking for a good book this is it!

Let me know what you think of the book when you are done.

Focus

Yesterday, I made a check list of all the things I needed to do this week. Some of the tasks on my list required me to research a subject or idea.  I found myself getting lost in my research and losing my focus.

I think sometimes we lose our focus with God. Forgetting about what he has called us to do and getting distracted. Sometimes I become focused on myself and my issues and forget about others around me. Jesus said I should love others more than myself.

Ryan Frank has been writing a series of posts on Dale Carengie’s book “How to Win Friends and Influence People”. His post today was on achieving goals. According to Dale Carnegie, there are two simple steps.

  • Plan your day to achieve your goals
  • Stick to the plan

Yesterday, I made the plan, but I just didn’t stick to it. Each day I need to make a plan on how to love others more than myself, and stick to the plan.

How do you regain focus?
