A Few Thoughts From an Amazing Day...

• Wonderful Day of Worship with the Capri Christian Church in Naples.
• Great message on servant-hood this morning. 
• Quote from the message; after spending three years with Jesus, how could the disciples not be servants? If someone spent 3 years with you, what traits would they pick up from your life?
• The church in Naples is stepping out in faith through missions giving and campus expansion. Excited to be with them today.
• Traveled home via the "Back roads"of Florida - great landscape and loved the scenic drive. It is amazing how much we miss driving on the intestate.
• Could there be a new #1 this week in College Hoops? Wonder who it could be?
• Attended a conference this week where the speaker posed the following questions; do we love our traditions more than our kids?
• I also learned another interesting fact In America, we now have more smart phones in than toilets. The implications to that fact are disturbing to me.
• The power of prayer is so evident in the situations I have experienced over the past few weeks.
• Something to Chew on; Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go. ~ T. S. Eliot

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

• Worshiped with the church family at Vero Christian Church this morning.
• Great expository message from Acts 9 by their minster.
• Loved the idea of being a second banana. Wonder how the kingdom has been impacted by men and women who chose to be second?
• Vero Christian is one of those churches that embraced CFBC in the early years and it has served them well.
• Looks like the Gators are giving us something to cheer about in college hoops!
• Why are gas prices going up again!
• How can the weekend be over so quickly?
• Really appreciated the opportunity to lead the Giving Church seminar last week. Blessed by the "Kingdom Mentality" of the presenters.
• One of my favorite worship leaders is moving to Iowa this week, Josh I want to thank you for ministering to my family.
• So proud of my children. They are growing up to be fine adults. 
• It looks like winter may be over in Florida, Hallelujah!
• Listening to " Principles that Guide my Life" by John Maxwell again, some leadership principles are TIMELESS!
• Something to Chew on; No enterprise can exist for itself alone. It ministers to some great need, it performs some great service, not for itself, but for others; or failing therein it ceases to be profitable and ceases to exists. ~ Calvin Coolidge

A Few Thoughts From an Amazing Day...

• Two-fer day! Worshiped at Christian Church at Deleon Springs this morning and then attended the dedication of a new building at Northside Christian Church Lakeland in the afternoon.
• Two different churches, two different ministry approaches, yet God is working in both places. 
• Andy's message was great this morning at CCDS, really inspiring!
• Staggering Stat from this morning's message; in America today there are 42 million children and teens, 62% have never been to church! Youth Ministers, Please don't give up, your job is too great! 
• Did I mentioned I traveled with several JUFL students this morning as well? They did a great job leading worship at the second service.
• Here is a comment I heard in worship this morning, "We are going to sing an old song, I think this one goes back to 2009." I guess an old song is based on your perspective!
• As I spoke this morning, I began to think about the start of CFBC - The men and women who laid the foundation and the first students were real pioneers. So glad to be a part of a PIONEERING SPIRIT!
• Yesterday I witnessed the power of mentoring kids as four former students ministered to my son and daughter in law - You guys ROCKED!
• How can the weekend be over so quickly?
• One week without football, UGH!!
• The last two weeks we have received XM Radio for free - There is a lot of great music on the MESSAGE!
• Congratulations to my friends Scott and Lori celebrating 20 years of ministry in South Florida this week.
• Something to Chew on; The art of leadership is saying no, not saying yes. It is very easy to say yes. ~ Tony Blair

• Hard to believe Advertisers paid $4,000,000 for a 30 second commercial this year. BTW I thought most of the commercials were duds.
