• Worshiped at Kissimmee Christian Church this morning.
• Jim's message focus on the "I wills" of Jesus. I will be born, I will die, I will rise from the dead, and I will return.
• Wonderful message for the Easter season!
• Watched the baptismal waters stir once again. Believe me, this NEVER gets old.
• Watching people have their sins washed away is one of the great joys of the Christian life!
• Even though it has been 11 years, I still miss preaching on Resurrection Sunday.
• Our Good Friday service was very moving and pointed all of us to the cross. Thank you, Tony, the choir, and all who made this a meaningful service.
• Why are White Chocolate Oreos only available during the Christmas season?
• 3 Weeks and all is good! Very Good!
• The Blue and Orage game gave us a preview of what the Gator Nation can expect in the upcoming season! Yes, College Football will be back soon.
• I gave a tour of the JUFL campus this week to a church's mission board, I love sharing how God used individuals and churches to make then CFBC a reality. I fear we are forgetting how special those early years were to the founding of the college. May the Zeal Never Cease!
