- Worshiped at Kissimmee Christian Church today.
- Jim preached a powerful message about the church.
- When the local church is working as God designed, the church is an unstoppable force for change in this world.
- There is something comfortable about belonging to a local body of believers.
- I will not be traveling for the next four weeks, can I get a hallelujah!
- Great time spent with family on Thanksgiving day, good food and better company!
- A special guest made the day special.
- When I look back over the last year I can say I am truly blessed!
- I do not mean to brag, but I tell awesome bedtime stories. If you do not believe me just ask Savannah!
- The best thing about Black Friday was the prime parking spot I found at Kohl's (right by the front door), the worst thing about Black Friday was the long lines at the cashier (also at Kohl's)!
- Well, at least the gator's football season is over.
- I have not followed UCF football much, but Friday's game was pretty exciting!
- Something to Chew On; Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings. ~ William Arthur Ward

Sunday Night Reflections
A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...
- Worshiped at First Christian Church of Cape Coral this morning representing JUFL.
- Great message from Psalm 100 regarding Thanksliving! Yes Thanksliving, this is not a typo!
- Key thought #1 from today's message; Gratitude is always a choice.
- Key thought #2; There can be consequences for ingratitude.
- Watching Pastor Keith minister to his congregation during worship was amazing.
- I am praying this prayer personally; Lord, open my eyes and heart to those who are hurting during this season.
- FCC Cape Coral is the 161st church I have visited on a Sunday since I started working for JUFL.
- This week I traveled 1,236 miles on University business, that is way too much time looking through a windshield.
- BTW, I never left Florida!
- 39 students from JUFL attended the International Conference on Missions this past week, I cannot wait to hear some of the stories they will share in the coming weeks.
- My favorite holiday is this week!
- Here is the schedule for Thursday, Early football game, food, lots of food, and an evening movie!
- With online shopping so easy today, why does one need a Black Friday!
- Gators win, FINALLY!
- Something to Chew on; Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. ~ Paul in 1 Thessalonians 5:18

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...
- Worshiped at Vero Christian Church this morning representing JUFL for the church's missions emphasis weekend.
- Great message on the topic of baptism.
- Steve did a wonderful job explaining what happens during our baptism, from God's point of view and from our point of view.
- Loved the video of the Russian baptisms - you really have to want it!
- So good to share with other mission partners this morning, God is doing some amazing things through their work!
- Preaching tomorrow evening at a men's gathering in Polk County.
- The construction trailer arrives on campus this week!
- Looking forward to seeing the construction begin.
- Celebrated my dad's 80th birthday yesterday, I really love time with my family.
- Only 2 weeks left in the college football season - it is almost over. I must admit it has been a tough season to be a Gator fan.
- John Ortberg's book, "Soul Keeping" is an excellent read!
- Who knew glow sticks could be so much fun.
- Something to Chew on; Wisdom is not the product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it. ~ Albert Einstien

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...
- Preached at River Run Christian Church in Melbourne this morning on the Authority of God's word.
- Wonderful time seeing many friends from years past. There really is nothing like the family of God!
- Key Lesson #1, When one evaluates the structure and uniqueness of the Bible, one comes away with the conclusion the Bible is the Word of God.
- Key Lesson #2, we are not saved by believing the Bible we are saved by believing in the One who is revealed in the Bible; Jesus!
- Great time at Roundup yesterday, so good to reconnect with alumni and friends of JUFL.
- Once again I am humbled by the generosity of God's people.
- BTW, generosity is not always tied to resources, some of the most generous people I know have limited resources.
- While yesterday was the Last Roundup, I am looking forward to the new opportunities on the horizon for the University.
- Now that the Gator's season is all but over, it looks like my Saturdays are freed up.
- Looks like it is time to turn my attention to college basketball.
- I have to admit the extra hour of sleep was wonderful last night.
- 50 days until Christmas! How can that be!
- Two very special birthdays this week, my dad turned 80 yesterday and my oldest son turns 37 on Wednesday.
- I can understand my dad turning 80, but how can I have a 37-year-old son?
- Something to Chew on; Within the covers of the Bible are the answers for all the problems men face. ~ Ronald Regan
