“You can’t
draw
much water out of
a shallow well.”
~Jim Garlow – Pastor Skyline Church

If you are
thirsty, find a deep well. Find a reservoir
in which a person could almost drown – at least metaphorically.
I read or I die! What a profound statement. And it is true. I can measure the goodness of my content by
my reading life.
And so I go
and find good wells of insight, good books, and authors who can stretch me,
inspire me, make me pause in mid-sentence and say “Wow!”
I’m just now
discovering Hemingway and Steinbeck.
These are two deep wells from which I am just beginning to drink.
Other wells
that I love to hang around are …
~TED Talks
~Christa
Tippet – On Being
~Brennan
Manning and Philip Yancey (for
the Christian mindset)
~Bob Goff - what
a fresh drink he is.
~Julia
Cameron (The Artist Way and others)
~Napoleon
Hill (Think and Grow Rich and
others)
~Earl
Nightingale (The Strangest Secret)
And how
could I ever forget Seth Godin. He’s the
man! Insightful, on-purpose,
challenging, astute. I get a daily dose
of Seth in my in-box.
Shallow
wells don’t do it for me. Lead me to
deep wells and I shall drink deeply.
