Hahaha... his face... says it all.

Pffft. Writers of Mommy Blogs have the best excuse ever to NOT comment back. You ladies are far too busy for that nonsense.

So I headed over here after Mr Miller tweeted about this. :)

I would LOVE to win this considering I used to own both Searching for God Knows What AND Blue Like Jazz, but both seem to have disappeared... I know I loaned them to someone, perhaps two different someones, but I can't seem to remember who, and no one has come forward. Sad.

Anyway, Donald Miller is definitely an author has impacted my life, and he did so by impacting my faith. His books were the first I'd read in any kind of spirituality or Christian genre, and he opened my eyes to a new way of looking at my faith and all issues related, instead of just repeating a lot of ridiculousness that I had heard since I was a child in the church. I think he's really able to get people to open their minds and think about things in a different light, but he does so in a down-to-earth way, that's easy to understand and follow and relate to, and not at all condescending.

I might mention - though I feel kind of silly, that J. K. Rowling has also impacted my life. The Harry Potter series is basically a staple of my generation, since the first book came out when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade. I know those books got a lot of my friends to read who hadn't really liked to before, and the series just made this wave of appreciation and imagination and creativity. It even created this sort of community with all of us "Harry Potter nerds."

Rowling, and Miller, and theirs works, are some of many that also have me thinking that I want to go into publishing, so... there's that too, ha.

oh my stars. I love his laugh!!! positively precious!!

this post really entertained me. especially since your saying in the sidebar that you're trying to "come out on the other side with a kid who doesn't repeat words i use in the car" was part of what drew me into subscribing. :)

I especially adored your use of the phrase "for the love of baby and standard size jesus" and I might start using it...

Aww yay, I love this song too!! I don't think many of my friends know it!

ohmygoodness, tell me I'm not incorrect in thinking his shirt is Linus from Peanuts... PRECIOUS. I love the Peanuts. And Milo is absolutely adorable.

New reader... couple weeks now... :)
