A Great Night of Fun: Bury the Hatchet Axe Throwing

We laughed and we threw axes. That should be enough, but when Abby (22 year old daughter) threw her axe into the television monitor keeping score, we all lost it. You’ll love this fun-filled place

A Really Good & Different Restaurant

We all enjoyed this little treat off 85 and Chamblee-Tucker. The chicken and rice was too stinking good. Fresh panko-crusted chicken and sticky white rice with a dash of soy sauce and you’ve got an affordable and tasty dinner.

A Really Solid Read: The Halo Effect

This is a witty, gritty read. An essential for business leaders. Brilliant and unconventional, irreverent and witty, The Halo Effect is essential reading for anyone wanting to separate fact from fiction in the world of business.

A GREAT LISTEN: 12 Truths I Leaned from Writing

What a great listen and watch from Ted Talker and author Anne LaMotte. She’s a bit odd and eccentric. But she’s equally brilliant and sassy. Buckle up.

A Really Fun Movie: Angel has Fallen

I loved this movie. If you like shoot em up movies where stuff gets blown up and you can pull for the good guys win, this is for you! How could you possibly go wrong with Morgan Freeman as the President and Gerard Butler as his Secret Service Guard?

A Really Solid Read: The Dip by Seth Godwin

It might be short, but it’s packed full of wisdom. A New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestseller. In this iconic bestseller, popular business blogger and bestselling author Seth Godin proves that winners are really just the best quitters. Godin shows that winners quit fast, quit often, and quit without guilt—until they commit to beating the right Dip.

A Great Spotify Worship Playlist: A-Chuck’s Worship Playlist

I love soul-stirring, sing-a-long worship music. I like to listen and sing it loud. Join me as we lift these great worship songs up as one huge chorus. And, by the way, I think Spotify is so much better than Apple Music or Pandora.

A Great Productivity Tool: Full Focus Planner

This has become a go-to productivity booster for me! I’ve vacillated between digital and paper planners for years. I now have the best of both worlds as I incorporate Michael Hyatt’s Full Focus Planner as a paper, high-productivity planner that I drop into my digital notebook. It’s not cheap because it’s a high quality, motivation and planning machine!

A Quote from Dr. Ben Carson

“Everyone in the world worth being nice to. Because God never creates inferior human beings, each person deserves respect and dignity.”

A Super Easy and Super Fun Game of Eight-Ball

Warning! This game is addictive! I’m not a gamer. As a matter of fact I do not haveE one single game on my devices. This game of eight-ball is played with someone else via Apple’s iMessage. It’s too much fun.

A Fun and Inspirational Read: The Coffee Bean

The Coffee Bean: an illustrated fable that teaches readers how to transform their environment, overcome challenges, and create positive change. Life is often difficult. It can be harsh, stressful, and feel like a pot of boiling hot water. The environments we find ourselves in can change, weaken, or harden us, and test who we truly are. We can be like the carrot that weakens in the pot or like the egg that hardens. Or, we can be like the coffee bean and discover the power inside us to transform our environment.

A Reminder of an Awesome App: Blinkist

I use this app daily. In a 30-35 minute window you can listen to a great summation of a solid book. I get at least 4 books each week consumed because of this simple app.

My recent Favorites in a Spotify Playlist: Daily Lift

From Maren Morris to Ed Sheeran, this is just fun music.

A Really Great Pizza: Nancy’s Pizza

I love a good pizza. I love thin crust, hand tossed, you name it, but whe I ate a personal stuffed pizza from Nancy’s it was a full meal in one slice. If you’ve never had a Chicago syle really, really deep dish pizza from Nancy’s you’re missing out!

A Really Good Biography: Martin Luther by Heinz Schilling

This isn’t one of the books that you rave about unless you love history. I was fascinated by the theological, political and sociological positions and platforms Luther stood on and how they shaped the future of Christianity.

A Binge-Worthy Amazon Original: The Man in the High Castle

We are midway through season two and are hooked. Based on Philip K. Dick’s award-winning novel, The Man in the High Castle explores what it would be like if the Allied Powers had lost WWII, and Japan and Germany ruled the United States. I think you’ll be entertained watching this thriller.

BONUS RECOMMENDATION!

Another Great Read from James Clear: 5 Lessons on Being Wrong

I love this guys writings. They always challenge and sharpen me. I especially was challenged in this really good article.

A Really Good Listen: What We Often Get Wrong About Our Emotions with Alisdair Groves

This is a heady listen and it’s challenging, but really good. I want to encourage you to be sharpened by this podcast. Stick with it for the full 32 minutes!

A Quote from Gene Edwards

“It appears that having a close walk with the Lord is not religiously acceptable.”

A Great Read for Folks Striving to Achieve Significance from Michael Hyatt: 5 Reasons Why You Should Commit Your Goals to Writing

I’m a bonafide fan of the Michael Hyatt Company. They are a first class organization and I’ve been fortunate to be a part of his coaching network for the past year. I’ve been stretched and pulled into a better leader and have tripled my effeciency and productivity. As a pastor, author, speaker and leader I need all of the help I can get. Take this advice and buy into his planner. It’ll change your life…guaranteed!

A Solid Local Bagel Joint: Everything Bagel in Buford

New York style bagel with southern hospitality. I’ll be a regular to this new business that just opens for the public today. I stopped by for a bite at their soft opening with 680 the Fan on site…good stuff even though it shares the same shopping center with Marathon Gas. I think you’ll like it!

A Great Movie for Families and Date Nights: The Lion King

We loved this movie! The theater was filled with adults and the crowd actually cheered for the film when it finished. I think that a lot of folks took their kids to see the animated version and nostalgia drew them back to see this remade classic. Whatever it is that attracts you, go see it. You’ll be so glad that you did!

A Really Good and Short Read from The Harvard Business Review

If you feel like you are working harder than ever, but making no significant progress, take 10 minutes and read this excellent article! If you are a pastor or business leader, this read will give you a bit of fresh insight.

A Quote from G.K. Chesterton

“Most modern freedom is at root fear. It is not so much that we are too bold to endure rules; it is rather that we are too timid to endure responsibilities.”
