Re: Coming Soon: New ESV Journaling Bibles

I would love to have more space to keep my Scripture reflections - not just confined to the very narrow margins of my Bible. And I can keep everything consolidated into one place - Scripture and reflections.

Re: SkyTeam Rolls Out SkyPriority Services & Fast-Track Security

I just did this with Delta at Sydney Airport en route home to the US. I went through baggage check in, expedited security and expedited passport control and it took a total of 30 minutes. I had plenty of time to shop and have lunch before my flight. My colleague who is not Sky Priority waited through 2 hours of lines for baggage, security and passport control. It works.

Re: When Did Mentoring Cost Money

I've come close to signing up for coaching networks to help me with my church plant. The costs were just so outrageous for phone meetings. The in-person visits would not even be possible. I think the draw was to be coached by a big name pastor or authority on church planting. Instead, God has blessed me with a group of 5 other pastors where we meet once a month and we are all in different places in our ministry careers. It's been a lifesaver. The only cost is a couple hours of my time each month and they have become friends - not vendors or outsourced talent that invoice me at the end of a phone call or site visit.

Re: New Season of Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations Starts Tonight

I love Anthony Bourdain. I've read his books and watch his shows. One of the things I love the most about him is that he has great respect for immigrants and their impact on American food culture. He also goes to great lengths to point out that immigrants are the backbone of the restaurant industry all over the U.S. Bourdain also loves to travel to faraway places and introduce Americans to little known cuisines. His show on the Philippines (my country of origin) was pitch perfect and gave great backgrounder on our food.

Re: How To Be A Regular

Usually, in order to be considered a regular, dining at the restauarant at least once a month helps. Getting to know the owner and manager helps. When they know you by name, that's a pretty great sign. Lots of customers claim to know the owner. But if he/she doesn't your name, you don't stand a chance. Tipping well helps a lot and word spreads among the servers. And, if your restaurant is on Open Table, there's a place for servers and managers to leave internal notes for diners. You can be "remembered" for being a good customer or a lousy tipper. Hope this helps.
