Sunday Night Reflections

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

  • Worshiped with the Church in Orange City this morning.
  • Sometimes we overlook small churches for their contribution,  I was amazed at the way they cared for the children of the church. 
  • In a little over 2 years, I have visited 146 churches, but today was a first; my car broke down 2 miles from the church where I was the guest preacher. I made it to the church on time and yes my prayer life improved 100% today.
  • Next Saturday is June 1 - this year is moving at hyper speed.
  • Tomorrow is the Ironton Ohio Memorial Day parade, here is an interesting fact; this parade is the longest running Memorial Day parade in the country.
  • I have to admit "Duck" reruns are better then most stuff the networks are offering this summer.
  • Pretty bummed that one of my team members is leaving FCC, Crystal we will miss your wit and wisdom. However I believe this new adventure is going to truly help you fulfill your purpose in life! Yes your are an artist not a copy machine.
  • Bahama Breeze's chicken sandwich is fantastic - trust me!
  • Some really good friends got a dog this weekend - can't wait to hear if they are "Dog Whisperers" or not!
  • Something to Chew on; In the presence of God the king - say nothing, in the presence of God the Father say everything! ~ John  Weece, Twitter

Sunday Night Reflections

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

  • Worshiped with the church family at First Christian Church Clearwater this morning.
  • One of the most authentic worship experiences I have witnessed in a long time. Genuine worship always come through!
  • Mike's message on Choosing Courage over Complacency was right on target.
  • His handling of the Genesis 12 gave the call of Abram a new perspective. 
  • Met with the missions team of FCC Clearwater following worship, great response about what is happening at Florida Christian College.  
  • Goodbye Spring, looks like Summer is here!
  • From today's Bible reading - John 6:22-24, What steps would you take to search for Jesus?
  • Excited about the possibilities this Summer affords.
  • The scandals in Washington should be a reminder to all of us we cannot fix ourselves - We need a savior! 
  • No Triple Crown Winner again this year - this may one of the most elusive titles in all of sports.
  • Just in case you are curious, here is the 2013 Gator Football Schedule 
  • Something to chew on; "we need to to talk to God about people, before we talk to people about God - Dave Stone, Twitter

Sunday Night Reflections

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

  • Preached at Okeechobee Today on the parable of the Wheat and the Tares.
  • Asked an important questions this morning; Is the world we are living in getting better of worse? Answer: Yes!
  • Better - the gospel continues to make inroads in the world, Worse, man continues to rebel against God and His good and pleasing will.
  • I am amazed by the places the class of 2013 from FCC are planning to go after graduation; this is truly a special group of graduates.
  • Greatest takeaway from commencement Friday evening; the school song is treasured by alums as well as students. Thank you Fred and Doc Smith.
  • Commencement message was both inspiring as well as challenging, Thank you Alex, Brad and Jordan. 
  • Bill Behrman's gracious spirit will be missed at FCC.
  • Big week for our advance team this week, we are excited!
  • Watching the Kentucky Derby Saturday, I could not help but think how fortunes can change in just 2 minutes. Also leading at the halfway point does not assure one of victory.
  • Something to Chew on; Seldom does growth come to a church, an organization or an individual without some type of change.
