A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

• Worshiped at Journey Christian Church, Apopka this morning.
• Great message on the importance of priorities for a new year, from Joshua 24. 
• What are your priorities for the New Year?
• Harvey's inventory questions were spot on.
• If you know someone who is a nurse, make sure you appreciate their sacrifice and service. They are truly heroes!
• Wonderful Christmas time with the family; Having the kids home and having Kathy on the road to recovery - Blessed!
• When I think of my kids this verse comes to mind.
• Driving on I-4 should come with warning labels much like that of cigarettes - "Driving on this road may be hazardous to your health!"
• Don't look now, but 2016 is here, what ever happen to that Y2K thing?
• I continue to be humbled by all the people praying for Kathy.
• Well at least this year we don't have to worry  about the dolphins collapsing at the end of the season to miss the playoffs - they were done around week 8. Thank you fins for not giving us false hope in December.

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

• Wonderful time worshiping at FCC Kissimmee this morning.
• Great message on the Anticipation of Christmas
• The first gift given to the Christ Child was the gift of worship. 
• One of the great strengths of the Christian faith is the foundation rooted in history.
• When someone is going through the cancer battle, it is amazing how many commercials are on TV talking about cancer.
• Our little taste of cool weather this weekend reminded me I truly am a Florida boy!
• Why do Oreos dipped in white chocolate only come out at Christmas time?
• Good, no, great friends are a gift from God.
• My top 3 Christmas Snacks; Chex Mix, White Chocolate covered Oreos and Homemade Chocolate Cookies.
• Something to Chew On: The reason people miss the gift of Christmas – they are looking for the wrong item. They are looking for security rather than a savior, looking for a keepsake rather than a king and looking for the things of this world rather than one to be worshiped. ~ From a message I preached in 2007
