Speed Reading

Today I took a trip to NYC to be with a friend who's been going through a difficult time lately. It was a good trip, and I loved listening to what's going on and try and offer what insight I could. But I was reminded of something. Bus drivers speed.

Drivers put the peddle down to the floor and let the engine governor keep them from going "too fast". Yikes! I took a book, and read over half of it on the trip. It's called Church Marketing 101. It is very interesting so far. The writer was a marketing consultant who became convinced that there were basic principles of marketing found in scripture. He has translated them for the kingdom of God to help churches.

But reading while on a bus is speed reading.

BTW, I rode round trip for $35.00 plus tax. Now, you get what you pay for, but it was a bus ride to NYC. If you want details on the deal check out www.easternshuttle.com.
