OK, so obviously I have had a serious lapse in blogging. As I have mentioned before, keeping up with blogging whilst Facebooking has proven beyond the realms of my feeble capabilities. I have also struggled to write something poignant on my blogs and end up thinking that if I have nothing of importance to say, I should say nothing. So, please tell me this. What would like me to blog about? Do you use Facebook? If not, why not? Do you use Twitter? If not why not? So far, I am a Facebook connector and a Twitter objector!

Great Reads
Alister Mcgrath: In the Beginning: The Story of the King James Bible and How It Changed a Nation, a Language, and a Culture
A great book about the Canonisation of books of the bible and how we ended up with the King James BibleIvan Mcleod: Hawkeye: The Rapid and Outrageous Life of the Australian Racing Driver Paul Hawkins
This book is about the life of my mums brother, my uncle - Paul Hawkins. He was a Formula 1 and Sports Car champion in the '60's and was tragically killed in 1969 at Oulton Park in England. He was a pretty rough Aussie but a good man with an unbelievable story. My middle name (Paul) is after him.Bob Buford: Halftime: Changing Your Game Plan from Success to Significance
This was a real life changer for me. Bob talks about how to transition from the first half of our life where we seek success, to the second half where we seek significance.Alan Axelrod: Profiles in Audacity: Great Decisions and How They Were Made
Outlines great people in History who have used the 'Rubicon Principle' to make decisions.....making some decision is always better than making no decision! Lots of short stories, easy reading.Mark Batterson: In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day: How to Survive and Thrive When Opportunity Roars
This is a book that will keep your attention to the last paragraph....and it's worth the wait!Jackie Stewart: A Restless Life
A great book about how to go from an ordinary kid to a multiple World Champion and then rise to teh very top in the business world. Not just for motor racing enthusiasts.Watchman Nee: Sit Walk Stand
A great short book (70 odd pages) that outlines a 3 fold way to live our christian life - realise you can't do anything to earn God's grace (Sit), how to have a Walk that's worthy and how to Stand when we need to fight.Donald J. Trump: Trump: How to Get Rich
This 1-page-at-a-time read will give you tips on everything from how to buy a good suit to how to pray (that's right, The Donald tells us to pray) for the best Personal Assistant (PA).Rudolph Giuliani: Leadership
This is by far my pick for the best book on how to practically lead a group or an organisation on a day-by-day and year-by-year basis.
