Quitter – Jon Acuff
I recently enjoyed Jon Acuff's new book, Quitter. The subtitle is "closing the gap between your day job and your dream job." I found the premise of the book fascinating because while writing Thriving at College I came across an interesting statistic: People in their twenties go through an average of seven jobs. Acuff himself went through a bunch of jobs before doing what he does now: writing and speaking full-time as an employee on the Dave Ramsey team. In Thriving at College, I discuss the importance of discovering the intersection between your interests and passions (on the one hand) and … [Read more...] about Quitter – Jon Acuff

Their rationale was biblical, comprehensive, and radical. Stemming from the conviction that “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Ps. 111:10), the Reformed tradition—and the CRC in particular—has long recognized that Christ’s … [Read more...] about The Case for Christian Education
Michael Jordan Owns NBA’s worst team ever
Given his egotistical, rambling Hall of Fame acceptance speech, it's a bit ironic that the man with a claim to being the best basketball player in history is now the owner of the NBA's worse team in history. As Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports, the "Charlotte Bobcats lost their 23rd consecutive game Thursday night 104-84 to the New York Knicks and finished the shrunken season with the worst winning percentage in NBA history (.106)." Read the rest. … [Read more...] about Michael Jordan Owns NBA’s worst team ever
