Sunday Night Reflections

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

  • Preached at Anchor Christian Church in Bonita Springs this morning. 
  • Focused on how God takes the smallest items and makes a huge impact.
  • Wonderful church family in South Florida. Very gracious and friendly! 
  • Anchor Christian Church is doing some innovative things because of its unique surroundings.
  • Last week I drove 952 miles, this week 374 miles, I think it is time to give the car a rest!
  • Why do the last 30 miles of a road trip take so long to complete?
  • Watching a sunset on the Gulf Coast is pretty cool, only wish the pics would have turned out better.
  • Beach Boys concert next weekend, hoping for Fun, Fun, Fun 'til the T-Bird is taken away!
  • If you know a school teacher lift them up in prayer, their job is tough!
  • February is almost over?
  • My online class is coming to a close, I have been challenged in the area of fundraising, what a great class. 
  • Church leaders, if you have not read "Not Your Parents Offering Plate" you do not understand how people approach giving today. There has been a shift in how people think about stewardship today.
  • Girl Scout Cookies are almost gone!
  • Something to Chew on; Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power. ~ Abraham Lincoln

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

  • Worshiped at Grace Christian Church in Pensacola this morning.
  • I drove 952 miles this weekend representing JUFL. I am whipped!
  • Great dinner with Andy and Camille Pauwels last night from Gulf Coast Christian Church. Andy is doing a wonderful job reaching Pensacola for Christ.
  • One game you can play while driving across I-10 in the Florida panhandle is to count the number of roadkill you see. Just so you know I saw 6 roadkills!
  • Always amazed at the people I meet when I travel for the University, today I met some old friends from my ministry at Plm Bay in the hotel this morning.
  • At the church, I met a former minister of First CC of Orlando, you never know who you are going to meet, it is a good thing I was on my best behavior!
  • This week pitchers and catchers are reporting to Spring Training. It will not be long before we hear the words; "PLAY BALL"
  • But first, let's fill out our March Madness brackets!
  • I am down to my last box of thin mints - time to start rationing them out! Only two cookies a day!
  • When she gets you a valentines day card with a football illustration/joke you know she gets you!

A Few thoughts from an Amazing Day...

  • Worshiped at Kissimmee Christian this morning. Jim brought a message on the being a Voice for the Voiceless.
  • Also heard a message from First Baptist Orlando on the life of Queen Esther.
  • Both messages were challenging and applicable to today's current events.
  • Had a wonderful time last week with 200 Senior Saints on a cruise ship. Connected with old friends and met some new friends, so blessed.
  • Wonderful early Valentine's Day celebration last night. The night consisted of Reese's Peanutbutter Cups, Oreo's and a wonderful dinner date!
  • If you live in Orlando you really need to visit the Hillstone restaurant!
  • Needless to say, I enjoyed the evening. 
  • I know it is February, but it is time to start thinking about whose in and whose out for March Madness.
  • I am going out on a limb here, but I do not think any of this year's Grammy nominees are on my playlist! 
  • In Florida - I believe Winter is Over!
  • Will the road construction on 192 ever be finished?
  • Something to Chew on; The greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it ~ William James
