Sunday Night Reflections

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

• Preached at First Christian Church Orange Park this morning.
• Jim and his team are doing a wonderful job reaching out to the people in the Orange Park community.
• Sermon topic; An Uncommon Place - what makes JUFL an uncommon university?
• Sharing uncommon facts about the university was a great reminder God was and is in the success of the college.
• What really makes JUFL is not the facts, but the graduates who have left our institution and are making a difference in this world!
• Ask me anytime, and I will share story after story of alumni who are making a difference today! 
• I heard one of the most moving communion meditations today; We at times forget at communion we are reminded there is hope when all seem hopeless.
• Quote from a message I heard yesterday; Certainty is the mark of the commonsense life: gracious uncertainty is the mark of the spiritual life. ~ Oswald Chambers 
• We all want certainty in this life, but truth be told, it is the uncertainty of life where one discovers the need for God.
• From this week's devotional; Faith is not threatened by funerals.
• Thursday is the National Day of Prayer, 2 Chronicles 7:14 is a constant reminder of our need as a nation to pray and the result we will experience when we humble ourselves and pray. 
• This Friday afternoon, JUFL will celebrate our 40th commencement, here comes another group of Kingdom builders.
•  Hey class of '80, does it seem like 40 years?
• Something to Chew on; The greatest use of a life is to spend it for something that will outlast it. ~ William James
