Sunday Night Reflections

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

• It was a two-fer day as I preached at two churches this morning. First I traveled to Lake City and preached at First Christian Church of L.C. and then I traveled to Macclenny and preached at First Christian Church of Macclenny.
• Thankfully I was able to use the same message; The Problem with Problems, James 1:2-6
• Key thought this morning, God gives us two solutions to handling problems is this life. A God who Loves us and a Church family that cares for us. 
• Key thought #2, no matter the problem, you are always a different person after you have tackled the problem. You either become better or bitter!
• I applaud Doug for filling two pulpits each week! So thankful for leaders who see the value in pulpit sharing.
• This weekend's travel 454 miles - yep, one tired puppy!
• Are there any sweeter words than; I AM ON VACATION THIS WEEK!
• I see a lot of bumper stickers on cars as I travel around the state; strangest ones this week? "I Love Tarantulas" and "Argue Naked" - Seriously, you cannot make this stuff up!
• I was reading through the book of 1 Kings this week and came upon the incident in chapter 17 where Elijah declares a drought for 3 years, we have gone almost 3 months around here without rain and it is pretty bad, can you imagine 3 years?
• Does anyone else miss college football?
• Something to Chew on; I cannot imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let's face it, friends make life a lot more fun. ~ Charles Swindoll
