Shoot Christians Say.

I just saw this again today, and couldn't help but share it.  I have been guilty of using a phrase or two of these. Enjoy.

50 Rules for Dads of Daughters. (A linked post)

http://www.fromdatestodiapers.com/50-rules-for-dads-of-daughters

Well, like some of my other posts, this is another one I wish I would have written myself.  With Scarlett's 6th birthday coming up in a couple of weeks, this was a very appropriate post.  I agree with all of these, except number 11 and 16. Sorry honey, you're not getting any type of furry animal while you live in the same house as I do.  My allergies will not tolerate it.  And your Grand-daddy will have to be the one to take you fishing.(that darn fish phobia of mine.)  Though I would like to add three more points:

51.  Show her how a women is to be treated with honor, respect and love.
52.  Take her on lots of Daddy-Daughter dates.
53.  Teach her about God, his love, and how we are to love others.

I know there are so many more I could come up with but these where the ones to first come to mind.  Please  click the link above to see the first 50.

Ion: The Dying Flame. By: Ron Marz

Though I didn't hate this book, can't say I really liked it.  I felt like I was reading it just to check it off my list. I think I've just come to the realization that I don't really care about Kyle Rayner.  I like him in the Green Lantern Corps stories, but not as a solo book.  I just don't find myself caring.  Not much to say about this book. I didn't care for the art.  The story was confusing. Unfortunately this is another book to take a pass on.

Steve Jobs. By: Walter Isaacson

After reading this book, it is hard not to have feelings or form opinions about Steve Jobs.  But to put it simply, he was human.  He was a multifaceted, passionate, cold, visionary, calculating, selfish, loving, constant learner, troubled, imperfect human being.  But who's perfect.  We are all built and wired differently, but when Steve was made the model was broken and I don't think we'll ever see another like him again.  He had little to no social graces and that filter most people have between their brain and their mouth, Steve didn't have that.  He always felt it was his job to always tell the truth and what he thought.  And with Steve, there was only black or white, right or wrong, genius or idiot, perfect or the worst ever.  He only wanted to surround himself with 'A' players.  Anyone else only took away from the excellent.  He had a firm belief that the best way to provide an excellent product was to control 100% of the experience.  He did not believe in giving the customer what they wanted, because in his words "they don't know what they want until we show them."  He like to quote Henry Ford saying "If I asked the customer what they wanted, they would just say they wanted a faster horse."  More times then not he would give you his brutal unforgiving opinion, whether you wanted it or not.  Steve was always searching for peace in his life, which I do not think he ultimately found. Being in the technology profession myself, it was very interesting to see Steve's point of view on the direction of the technology.  Where it started, where it is, and where he envisions it going.  Most of the book I though he was nothing short of a jerk.  I still think that.  But as he knew his life was coming to a close, he did make an effort to right some of the wrongs he felt he committed.  That is why I said he was an imperfect human.  This was a very well written book.  Anyone interested in technology, apple, or Steve Jobs will like this book.
