Sunday Night Reflections

A Few Thoughts From an Amazing Day...

• Worshiped at First Christian Church of Orange Park this morning. Great message from the book of Hebrews.
• Not your ordinary Christmas text, yet Hebrews 1:1-3 contains powerful truths for the Christmas season. 
• The illustration of the "Jesus Bolt" was truly amazing!
• Spent last weekend with Kathy's family celebrating Thanksgiving in the mountains of North Georgia, wonderful place to unwind. 
• Not having cell phone service on the mountain can be a blessing and a curse.
• Kathy has finished her radiation treatments so thankful for the women who acted as her chauffeurs the last 33 days!
• Favorite Christmas Snack #1 Oreos dipped in white chocolate, you only get 24 in a box but they are so goooooood! 
• Seeing Kathy's recovery from cancer has made me realize I really have a short Christmas list this year! In fact, I think I have everything I need!
• All I want for Christmas is a parking space at the Mall!
• Other than Easter, this is my favorite time of the year to preach, and yes I have a Christmas series I am writing - but I have no where to preach it. 
• Can't wait to watch "It's a Wonderful Life" this Christmas season.
• Have you noticed how much theology is found in the old Christmas carols?
• Well the college footballs season is over, that was a fast 13 weeks! Now the bowl games, only a few perk my interest.
• Favorite Christmas Snack #2 Homemade Party Mix, make sure there are peanuts in the mixed!
• Spending time with my granddaughter always perks me up.
• This weekend was the Tison Christmas party in Jacksonville, so blessed to have a large close family. 
• Visited our family cemetery while in Jacksonville this weekend, We can trace our family tree back 5 generations through the cemetery. 
• 1 full week of school left and then finals, August seems so long ago.  
• Favorite Christmas Snack #3, Cheese Ball and Crackers!
• Something to Chew on; Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation, for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see—such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him.  He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together. ~ Apostle Paul, Colossians 1:15-17
