Sunday Night Reflections

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

• Worshiped at my home church today, FCC Kissimmee. Great message on the Christmas Gift.
• One takeaway from worship this morning was the idea of the wise men's visit - the first gift they offered was not the gold, myrrh and frankincense, the first gift they offered was their worship! 
• It is easy to blame the stores for opening on Thanksgiving Day, but we must ask ourselves do we really NEED to march to the Malls on that day?
• Hey Jim, thank you for the encouraging words this morning - I really appreciated your sincerity!
• Loved having the family over for Thanksgiving day - we are blessed.
• Interesting quote from Dave Ramsey's twitter  this week; If your household income is over 34K per year you are in the top 1% of income earners in the world. That really puts things in perspective.
• Well the college season is wrapping up, but what an incredible day - 1 second can change everything!
• Saddened for the gators season, hope the off-season brings a time of reflection and renewed commitment.
• Reading several posts  on Facebook lately regarding urban legends - please check out your source before you post!
• Things I am looking forward to this month; Night of Noel at JUFL Campus, Staff Christmas Party, my family Christmas party in Jacksonville and of course Christmas with my granddaughter.  
• Something to Chew on; Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds. Discard them and their value will never be known. Improve them and they will become the the brightest gems in a useful life. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
