Live a Better Story

I am embarassed that I have not updated my blog in six months, but I have made a resolution to update it on a regular basis ... whatever regular means.

I came across Donald Miller's new book, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years a few weeks ago and thought it was great. I've enjoyed his other books, but this one challenged me in a way the others didn't.

The book is Donald's reflection's on his journey as they make a movie out of his book, his life, Blue Like Jazz. He learns the elements of a good story and sees that his life on screen isn't a movie many would go see ... and sets out to live a better story.

It has really challenged me to think about my story ... is it purposeful, adventureous, connected to the overall God Story in a way that makes life, come to life? Or is it a story that in the end, "the guy gets the Volvo".

I am working to live a better story this year, and to lead my family to live a better story ... I hope you join us.
