I'm a Winner!

Yes, this really was one of my old chess trophies.

In the past couple of weeks, I've won three different giveaway contests conducted on other blogs:

1. I won the new book StandOut (I'm a big fan of Marcus Buckingham) on the leadership blog by Michael Hyatt. I plan on giving a review of this book, including my results, in the next week or two.
2. I won a set of DVD's and books from Zondervan's The Nature of God, courtesy of Challies.com.
3. Anyday now, I'm expecting a T-shirt from Mendmark. Thanks, Tyler Stanton (and congrats on having Boy #3).

That's a total of almost $200 of great stuff. My wife wants me to enter in one of the many contests that Young House Love conducts. I think she's just trying to ruin my streak.

Incidentally, I wasn't just finding giveaways. These are 3 of my favorite sites that I follow and read, that have focuses that range from leadership to theology to humor.
