My Life With the Saints
Author: James Martin
Rating: 5
Review: "My Life with the Saints" by Father James Martin, SJ (Jesuit Priest) was well written. In this book Fr. James explains why knowing about the Saints is important in life, and then shows how one can learn from what the Saints did and didn't do in life. He goes on to explain that praying to a Saint is not idolizing them or breaking faith the God, but that you are asking him/her to intercede on your behalf with God the Father. He shows us the life of a few Saints, and how they have played a part in his life. He goes on at the end of the book to tell you where you can find out about these Saints in more detail as well as other Saints. Well worth the read!

Review: (I actually read this book a few months ago, and just realized I hadn't written it up!!) This was a fairly well written book. It was somewhat guessable in some cases, but over all I enjoyed the story line, and liked the book. If you want some semi light reading and like suspense stories this book may be for you!

Review: A well written book, following sound principals of data and physical security. I'll update this once I take the test, but over all, I recommend that all security professionals have a copy of this book on hand, and that they read it!
Well, we are moving into the time of year I love the most, minus the rain anyway, and that is Spring. I like the temp most of the time, and I love the new growing things outside, the return of the birds and other animals, and the over all re-birth of the year. (Not much into rain though, hate being wet unless I’m scuba diving or swimming.)
Summer is my second favorite time of year, as that means the beach is there with at least semi warm water!! I love walking on the beach and swimming in the ocean, under the waves or on the waves!! (Although I don’t surf….)
Time to grab my school books and head to the beach I think!! (Although today is too busy for that…)
It has been a busy few weeks for me. A lot of changes happening in my life and lot of busyness. Haven’t studied like I should have been and haven’t done a lot of things I should be doing. Time to get back on track.
I have re-enforced that people don’t listen and don’t follow up on what they say they will do. (Myself as well at times….) I’m working on that from my standpoint, but I wish others would work on it as well.
I have found that coaching others on process or direction doesn’t always (seldom it seems) pay off the first time. They go off on their own, doing it their way, and then they often crash and have to start over, if they start over with the way they were coached by someone that has “been there, done that”, they tend to get it right the second time. Why can’t people learn from other peoples mistakes? Why do they want to learn of them their own? Yes, a person needs to make their own mistakes as well, but if it is a major project (such as getting your company funded), why not follow the “expert”?
