A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

• Preached at Salt Springs Christian Church this morning. 
• Wonderful group of people, such an encouragement. 
• Special treat this morning, I was able to take three JUFL students with me to lead worship and share why JUFL is making a difference in their lives. Thank you Greg, Chandler & Michael!
• This week's message focused on this one fact; only transformed people can transform our culture. If there is not a change in us, we will never change the culture.
• It is so exciting to see so many JUFL students involved in ministry this semester.
• Kathy's cancer battle begins year 3 this week, She is the toughest woman I know.
• Question to Kathy; What do you want for Valentine's Day? Her answer, I want to be well! AMEN,
• Reading a great book this week, Extreme Prayer by Greg Pruett. Subtitle; The impossible prayers God promises to answer. 
• Why is prayer our last resort?
• This weekend some 700+ teens will invade the JUFL campus for our IMPACT  football tournament, it is going to be a great weekend.
• Speaking of football, there is only one more football game is left!
• I read this week the candidates running for president have spent 40 million dollars on TV ads in Iowa prior to their big day Monday, that seems like a lot of money for a job that only pays $400,000 a year! 
• Something to Chew on; Praying in Jesus name means presenting requests that resonate with Jesus' character and advance his plans for the earth ~ Greg Pruett, Extreme Prayer, Page 20

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

• Worshiped at FCC Kissimmee today.
• Great message on what it means to live out one's faith in the world from Romans 12.
• Great illustration and application regarding the Clemson Tigers' football team. Jim is right, if that attitude permeated college football we would see a major difference in sports! 
• This song may be one of my favorite worship songs.
• Having the family home for the weekend is a real treat. 
• Revelation 21:1-5 means so much to me today.
• One thing I have learned about dealing with cancer, While there are a lot of things that cry out to be urgent, but there are really very few things that are important - I choose the important!
• I wonder if young couples really comprehend the vows of for better or worse, in sickness and health.
• Some phone calls really make your load lighter, Thank you Mrs. Eubanks!
• Hey, I think we have survived the Florida winter!
• Images of the soldiers guarding the tomb of the unknowns in the snow storm are powerful.
• There is something comforting about a large WAWA hot chocolate!

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

• Worshiped at Generations Christian Church in Trinity this past weekend. 
• GCC has an amazing outreach ministry in the community and around the world.
• Greg's message from Acts 23 reminded the congregation we can not be passive as we enter 2016. Great message for all churches to hear. 
• Saturday evening the elders and missions team hosted their mission partners for dinner. I am amazed to hear what is happening through GCC's global ministry.
• Interesting item I learned this weekend; In Orlando 122 languages are spoken in the city, the world is coming to us!
• Two phrases that spoke to me this weekend, Found People, Find People! and Saved People, Serve People!
• Can't prove it, but I believe a noisy church is a growing church!
• Met several alumni from JUFL this weekend - Good Times
• So thankful for Kathy's physical therapy nurse, she is doing amazing work for Kathy.
• 3 young ladies from JUFL came over this weekend and did some house cleaning - we are blessed!
• Five years ago I left the located ministry, what an adventure the last five years have been for me both personally and professionally. 
• Based on the last five years I really appreciate this verse.

• Looks like winter has arrived in Florida, I hope we can make it though the WEEK!
• Something to Chew on; Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world. ~ Joel Barker

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

• Worshiped at First Christian Church Kissimmee today, Great message from Romans 12:3-8.
• Jim is right, we should not apologize for asking people to serve, we need to be challenged to serve!
• From today's message, Only in serving does one find significance!
• Too many people are looking for success, rather than significance, maybe it is time to reread the book of Ecclesiastes. 
• After being out of church for 2 months, Kathy was able to go to worship this morning! What a thrill!
• Love being a part of a caring church family.
• Students are back, second semester starts tomorrow!
• Hey Cincinnati, you gotta play all 4 quarters!
• Dolphins have a new coach, have they really had 10 different head coaches since Don Shula retired?  
• Last college football game tomorrow night - I think we should have a moment of silence as we say good bye to another college season!
• Don't look now, March Madness will be here before you know it!
• Staggering thought, as of Saturday, if you won  the power-ball lottery, you still could not afford an NFL Franchise!
• Back on the road next week, and so it begins, "Oh the place I will go in 2016"
• There is something about eating pancakes at night that is so comforting!
• I have a good friend in St. Louis who checks up on me each week, so appreciate his concern.
• Something to Chew On; Excellence is the result of caring more than others think wise, risking more than others think is practical and expecting more than others think is possible. ~ Ronnie Oldham
