Sunday Night Reflections

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

• Worshiped at Kissimmee Christian Church this morning and then returned to KCC to preach for the evening service. 
• Jim and I both preached on the topic of Love today, funny how we both preached on the same topic and yet had different takes on the topic.
• The takeaway from the morning message; The opposite of love is not hate, it is indifference.
• The takeaway from the evening message; Love is must be demonstrated if it is to be genuine in the community of believers.
• Once again I was reminded of the community of believers as I met the first youth intern who served with me back in my youth ministry days. So good to see you today, Bill.
• I am so blessed by the kind comments of so many friends. 
• Every Sunday is a good day, but this one was especially a good Sunday! 
• The MVP of the month Septemeber has to be the Linemen of the electric power companies, we really do take for granted the convenience of flipping on a light switch and having lights until the power is taken out by a natural disaster. 
• How can this be the last Sunday in Septemeber?
• I think the Gators are living close to the edge. In fact, in the words of the theologian Jon Bon Jovi; they may be living on a prayer!
• Something to Chew on; Only the guy who isn't rowing the boat has time to rock the boat. ~ Jean-Paul Sartre

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

• Preached at Homeport Christian Church in St. Augustine this morning.
• Today's message focused on the grace of God in times of disaster. 
• Great worship this morning. Favorite worship song today; Cornerstone by Hillsong. 
• In times of great disaster, the church has a great opportunity to shine.
• A faithful servant of the Lord passed away today, Bill has now heard the words we all long to hear; Well Done Good and Faithful Servant. 
• Dementia is such a cruel disease. 
• The university hosted the world's best lock in this week as 60 JUFL students spent  5 days in the Chapman Center riding out the Hurricane.
• Ok, one last time; the right lane of the interstate is for slower traffic, the left lane is for passing! This cannot be too difficult. And don't get me started about turn signals!
• A great time at Disney Thursday evening as we needed a break from all the Hurricane stress. BTW the Frozen Sing-Along show has got to be one of my favorite shows.
• Endless shrimp at Red Lobster is a great way to celebrate a birthday, right Suzy! 
• What a catch! If you are Gator fan you know what I am talking about!
• Something to Chew on; If we don't serve regularly or give financially, we should probably stop referring  to the church we attend as being "my church."  Really without sacrifice and commitment, you are just a visitor. ~ Toney Salva

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

• Because of Hurricane Irma, Worshiped at home this morning.
• It has been a long time since I was not in a worship service on a Sunday morning.
• So blessed by the worship offered on many of our church's websites today. Today's technology is making the gospel message accessible to so many people, rain or shine.
• How many churches will use this song next week in worship?
• First, it was Michigan and now Irma, will I ever see the Gators play a good game this year?
• Is it me, or do snacks taste better during a hurricane?
• Helped a friend "Board" her house this weekend in anticipation of the coming storm. So glad I was able to help! She rewarded me with Brownies and Cookies, I think she gets me!
• My parents celebrated 60 years of marriage this weekend, in a culture that has a skewed view of marriage it is comforting to know there is a couple who took their vows of marriage seriously, congratulations Mom and Dad!  
• Something to Chew on; God is our protection and our strength. He always helps in times of trouble. So we will not be afraid even if the earth shakes or the mountains fall into the sea, even if the oceans roar and foam. ~ Psalm 46:1-3

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

• Worshiped at Kissimmee Christian Church this morning. 
• Excellent message on how one receives or reacts to the word of God.
• Thanks Jim for being so committed to the truth in a world that desperately needs to hear the truth.
• I pray the seed of the gospel is always sown in the lives of the people through the ministry of Kissimmee Christian Church.
• Special treat tonight; I am going to hear the Brooklyn Tabernacle Chrior perform!
• Johnson University Florida has added two weekly prayer times on our campus, it is exciting to see what God is going to do though these dedicated prayer times! 
• I am saddened when I hear of churches and or ministers in crisis. 
• Jesus prayer for unity in the church was not a suggestion, it was a mandate for His church!
• Congratulations to Emma and Andrew, so great to see a fine young couple commit to one another in the act of marriage.
• I cannot believe I waited all summer for college football to start and the Gators had an epic fail. Maybe next week will be better.
• Something to Chew on; If you find yourself constantly trying to prove your worth to someone, you have already forgotten your value. ~ Unknown
