A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

• Worshiped with the Ocala Christian Church family today.
• Focus of the message was from "The Story, Paul's last days" 
• How do you want people to remember you? Check out this section of scripture for a clue from Paul's life.
• Connected with several alumni at the church as well!
• I really enjoy worshiping with this group of believers, they are so genuine and honest with their faith.
• I also was able to witness a commissioning service service today for a young couple headed to the mission field - what a blessing!
• Their commissioning service reminded me of my ordination 33 years ago - what memories!
• One of my favorite memories of Memorial Day will take place tomorrow in Ironton Ohio. What a parade! 
• Over the last few days, the words from the Florida Christian College school song  have a deeper meaning to me -  "Where-so-ever we may scatter, Through-out all the world."
• Something to Chew on; If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader. ~ John Quincy Adams

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

• Worshiped at FCC Inverness today.
• The church is on the right track as it continues to reach out into the community of Inverness.
• Great mix of worship music today. Both modern and traditional.
• I don't think I will ever get over the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15.
• The topic today's message becoming people of the "Second Chance"
• If you could have a second chance today what would you do differently?
• We received a good report this week from the oncologist, but we still have a long way to go! Thank you prayer warriors!
• One thing I have noticed since Kathy was diagnosed with cancer, I hear more stories every day of cancer survivors and people who are fighting cancer. Key lesson - everyone has a story.
• Attending a commissioning service next week, so glad to be a part of what God is doing in this young lady's life! 
• I could never participate in the Amazing Race, just saying!
• 4 Teams left in the NBA Playoffs - I can't believe they are still playing.
• Something to Chew on; "Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen." ~ Winston Churchill

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

• Preached twice at FCC Seminole this morning. Great time of worship. Two completely different worship styles, but both services really moved the worshipers.
• Headed out this morning at 6 am, but driving across Tampa Bay was worth it!
• Focus of the message this morning - What else - Mother's day! 
• If you have a chance to view the video "Mom Goggles" from sermonspice.com do it, great video on seeing life from a mom's perspective.
• Amazing fact I learned in prepping for this message, 1.7 billion dollars is spent on flowers for mother's day. I wonder what was the percentage of flowers purchased this morning, just curious.
• Message focused on the OT heroine Hannah. Main points, Hannah prayed for her child, Hannah promised her child and Hannah provided for her child.
• NFL draft was this weekend - it is getting closer!
• Chemo side effects not as serious this go around, thank you for the prayers on Kathy's behalf.
• Students have been gone for a week, eerie silence on campus.
• Can you believe the NBA playoffs are still going on?
• Something to Chew on, No man is poor who has a godly mother ~ Abraham Lincoln

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

• Great worship at FCC Kissimmee today, powerful message on the suffering and problems we face.
• Here is a great verse from today's message.
• Wonderful graduation Friday night at Johnson University Florida.
• So proud of my son Jonathan graduating with his associate's degree.
• As exciting as it was to watch our graduates walk across the stage Friday evening was bitter sweet - I will miss these guys!
• Sitting in the audience at graduation brought back memories of my graduation from CFBC, in some ways 1981 seems like a long time ago and in other ways it feels like yesterday.
• All of our family was at our our house this weekend - good times! 
• Bracing for another round of chemo this week - please pray for Kathy!
• I am looking forward to this day more and more, oh that it could be tomorrow.
• I find it interesting a network can spend almost 3 hours talking about a race lasting less than 2 minutes.
• 1/3 of the year is in the books - how are you doing on the New Year's resolutions?
• Something to Chew on, As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God,  the Maker of all things. Ecclesiastes 11:5
