Part of life for me is reading. Sometimes for pleasure, sometimes for school. I read this earlier today and I thought the advice was very practical and sound for all of us (especially in ministry)...
" READ LIKE A MANIAC
- Ask the people whom you admire and respect what books they read.
- Note those authors you resonate with, then get all of their books.
- Place those few books that have really affected you in a bookcase close to where you work.
- Interact with your books.
- Don't worry if you take a break from reading now and then.
- Whatever you do, don't limit your reading to spiritual books."

I serve as the Resort and Community Missionary of the Southeast Baptist Association. I have the privilege of coordinating guest mission groups through our resort ministry, Golden Isles Ministries.
I am happy to blog that we have a website for GIM and can be found at the following web address: www.goldenislesministries.com
