I read it when it first came out and didn't think how it ties in here, but it does. Thanks for reminding me (and others). That's a great book.

The book is A Million Miles. Donald Miller wrote Blue Like Jazz another great book. What I love about Donald's new book, A Million Miles is it's about living our story. Plot: Film industry came knocking on Donald's door after success of Blue Like Jazz and wanted to make a film about his life story. Turns out the producers let Donald know his life was boring, so they had to do something for the big screen. Your post made me think you and your readers might enjoy this book.

This isn't a dress rehearsal and there are no do overs. It's a heavy responsibility but an awesome opportunity. We only have one chance to write our story.

The basic stuff...who, what, when, where. Born in 1895 - died 1989. Deane says while that is all well and good, what he's interested in is the 'dash'. What happened in those years between 1895 and 1989. That's the important stuff. A person has no choice about the dates... but that dash is who they are. You should not only build your story but you MUST listen to the old ones and learn about their story. And their parents story, and their parents. Then you have to tell your children and their children. Several members of Deane's family do geneology. The basic stuff…who, what, when, where. Born in 1895 – died 1989.
