Sunday Night Reflections

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

• Preached at First Christian Church Cocoa Beach this morning.
• Today's message, Pursuing Patience in an Impatient World. 
• Patience defined; Patience is the Calm Endurance based on a Certain knowledge God is in Control.
• The Bible is full of examples of individuals practicing patience; Abraham, Joseph, Moses, David, and yes the greatest example of all - Jesus! 
• I want to be as patient with others as God is patient with me. I have to admit there are times that is difficult for me! 
• Like contentment, patience is a learned activity.
• Not much was mentioned this weekend about D-Day. As a nation, we can never forget the sacrifices the Builder Generation made freeing the world from tyranny.  
• Thanks to COVID 19, whoever owns a plexiglass factory is having a very good year!
• All of my kids were home this weekend celebrating a birthday we missed during the virus quarantine, a great time was had by all!
• Two items I have enjoyed since COVID 19 invaded our lives; the weekly prayer time with my counterparts in Tennessee and our Virtual Coffee Break with the same group of people. We are 500 miles apart, but these two items are keeping us connected beyond our day to day routine.
• In case you are curious, There are 207 days left in 2020. 
• Something to Chew on; No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, and purple. Yeah, this is useless trivia for us to chew on this week! How many of you are trying to find a word that rhymes with month, orange, or purple tonight?
