Yesterday I shared a couple of the things I learned from reading The Real Win.  Here are four more thoughts triggered by the book:

3. Men’s sins reveal women’s sins.

There’s a section of the book where Matt and Colt walk through some specific sin struggles that men sometimes face.  As I was reading them I found it pretty hard not to mentally scribble the names of men I know in the margins.

Turns out, reading about the struggles of men managed to highlight for me one of the major struggles of women: comparison.

A couple of things you should know about my pastor:

• He can catch birds with his bare hands.
• He’s sort of an internet sensation right now because he can catch birds with his bare hands.
• He just wrote a book with Colt McCoy and it’s pretty great.

I felt a little strange picking it up since it’s called The Real Win: A man’s quest for authentic success.  Despite what some of my blog readers have said, I am not a man.  And I’m not really on a quest for authentic success.
