Here is a list of the 23 books that I can remember reading in the last 12 months. It is worth noting that I have started other books and not finished them. So these are the best of about 60 books.
If I could only recommend one on business leadership, right now I would recommend Martha rules(especially for women to read). Only one on Jesus/leadership I would recommend Lead like Jesus. Only one on finance- Total Money makeover. One on marrage, Love and Respect(Although it doesn't make for good small group material). What have you been reading?
Martha's Rules: A Handbook for Success from One of the World's Greatest Entrepreneurs [unabridged]
The Millionaire Mind [abridged]

Bee leave it or not
Here is an article I got in an email newsletter that I get. Apparently the cellphones may not be what is causing the bees to die.
In a related matter, if you live in NW Arkansas you have got to try Grandma's Honey It is made in Famington and has not been processed. I have not had a lot of really good honeys, but this is the best I have had. It is available at Walmart.
CATASTROPHIC BEE COLONY COLLAPSE IS NOT AFFECTING ORGANIC HIVES
As previously reported in Organic Bytes (Issue #104), beekeepers in 24 states are experiencing record losses of honeybees. Some states have reported up to 70% disappearances of commercial bee populations. Researchers are struggling to find the causes of this mysterious collapse. A crucial element of this story, missing from reports in the mainstream media, is the fact that organic beekeepers across North America are not experiencing colony collapses. The millions of dying bees are hyper-bred varieties whose hives are regularly fumigated with toxic pesticides by conventional beekeepers attempting to ward off mites. In contrast, organic beekeepers avoid pesticides and toxic chemicals and strive to use techniques that closely emulate the ecology of bees in the wild. Researchers are beginning to link the mass deaths of non-organic bees to pesticide exposure, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and the common practice of moving conventional bee hives over long distances.

Who let the dogs out
Genessa and I have been struggling with what to do with our Lab Sam. He has recently increased his climbing skill from getting over chain link fences to climbing over our Privacy fence.
And when I say climb, I mean climb he walks up to the fence puts his front feet on one of the wood supports and then raises his back feet up and climbs the fence much like I would if I were trapped in the back yard.
When he climbs the fence, one of two things happen. He hangs out in the front yard waiting for us to come home or one of my kind neighbors puts him back in the back yard. I know that they must love doing this I know I would.
All that said I spent most of yesterday installing an underground electric fence. I figured that working with an electric fence and digging would be much funner in the rain so yesterday was perfect.
Sam will wear a coller that will beep when he starts approaching the wire and if he doesn't turn back he will get a small (whats a nice word for shock?) "correction".
I am still not finished with the fence, and once I am, we will still have a couple of weeks of traing to do in order to show Sam how the fence works. I hope he will catch on quick. He learned to climb the fence very fast so I bet not climbing the fence will be learned as quick.
