Check out the book trailer the team at Dave Ramsey made:

I lived this book for 12 years and it covers everything from figuring out what your dream is to falling in like with a job you don’t love to understanding how to quit your day job in a way that protects your dream. This is the book I wish someone had handed me in college because it could have helped save me more than a decade of job jumping and dream ignoring.

I’ve always heard that you should never partner with advertisers who make a product you and your family wouldn’t personally use. That’s the #1 reason that I refuse to work with the automatic robot head massager they sell in the Sky Mall catalog.

It’s also the # 1 reason I can honestly say, “Ta Da! Here’s something I love!”

A few weeks ago, Find It Games gave me and my family one of their new “Find It VeggieTales” games. I’ve spent the last few weeks going crazy with this thing.

The concept is simple and awesome. Inside a tube of tiny colorful beads are hidden tons of small VeggieTales toys. Everything from the slushy cup and Viking helmet to Bob the Tomato and Madame Blueberry are in there. The object is to go on a scavenger hunt and check off which ones you see. Sounds easy, right? That’s what I thought too, until we started passing around this game at our dinner table. It’s easy to find Larry, he’s a big green cucumber. But the water buffalo? That thing is elusive! And to this day, after weeks of playing, I have still not found the penny.

My family has loved this game and it’s provided a fun alternative to video games and iPhones on long road trips. My kids zone out if there’s anything electric going on and this game has provided some great family moments.

Find It Games has been an awesome sponsor and their game “Oh, Really!” is a blast too. I don’t play a ton of board games but this one is fun. We played it a few nights ago and it was funny to see what it revealed about what each member of our family really thought about certain ideas.

Check out both games at their site. But please know, you will never find that penny. That thing makes the water buffalo look like a cakewalk.

I’ve got 2 copies of the Find It VeggieTales to give away. Just comment by Monday, April 4 with an answer to this question to enter:

What’s your favorite VeggieTales moment?

(Curtis Honeycutt is one of the few guest posters on SCL that I’ve had the chance to hang out with in 3D. He’s hilarious, he’s got a huge heart for God and recently read an early copy of my new book Quitter. That book didn’t come with a disclaimer, but in a great guest post, Curtis talks about one that does sometimes. Enjoy!)

The Message Disclaimer – By Curtis Honeycutt

How many times have you been sitting in a Sunday morning worship service and heard this line: “Now I’m going to re-read that section from The Message, which is a paraphrase written by a guy named Eugene Peterson. It’s not the official pew Bible you have in the cool utility slots in front of you, or if you’re in the front row, the Bibles that are floating on a magical shelf under your seat. The Message is like Gnomeo and Juliet…you get the idea. So now that I’ve explained this into oblivion, here goes…”

Last week, the Stuff Christians Like blog turned 3. (I got it something made of tin which I think is what you give a blog on its 3rd anniversary.) In a couple of weeks we’ll hit idea #1,000 on this site. One thing I’ve learned in the last few years is that the hardest part of writing Stuff Christians Like is writing Stuff Christians Like. Creating new content day after day is the biggest challenge. That’s also the number 1 reason most blogs die.

I recently recorded a 3 minute video explaining one of the tricks I use to push through writer’s block when it comes to blogging.
