A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

• Worshiped at Kissimmee Christian Church this morning.
• Jim was away but we were encouraged by one of the missions KCC support in India.

• Key point #1, Only a praying church can defeat the enemy.
• Key point #2, The power of the early church was the power of prayer.
• We celebrated the anniversary of our worship minister today, Tony does a wonderful job preparing us to hear the morning message. Congratulations Tony on 10 years of faithful service!
• Don't look now, but a storm is heading into the Gulf of Mexico, things could get interesting this week.

 A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

• Worshiped at First Christian Church, Lake Butler this morning.
• Shane did a great job dealing with Pharoah's question for Exodus 5:2, Who is the Lord that I should obey him? One day everyone will be able to answer that question.
• We shared lunch with the church family, good food, and wonderful company.
• Eating dinner with the preacher's kids was a joy and very interesting. 
• I was able to connect with some people I have not seen in a very long time, I never know who I am going to meet on my travels for JUFL, but it is always good to connect with friends from many years ago. 
• I shared a university update with the congregation and saw one of our alumni ordained into the Christian ministry. A VERY GOOD DAY!
• One of the inspiring items about Mike's ordination was each of the church's elders prayed a blessing over him as they laid hands on him. 
• Thanks to my daughter, I was able to attend my first game at "The Swamp" Saturday. Wow, that place is loud!
• This season the Gators are keeping us on the edge of our seats. 
• This weekend proved that Lori is near perfect!
• If there is completion for the state's worst traffic troubles I-4 and I-75 are tied! 
• The fins are 2 and 0, and looking good. Especially in the 4th quarter.

 A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

• Worshiped at Union Park Christian Church this morning.
• Tom's message came from the book of Joel. 
• The key point from the message is God is interested in restoring ALL people if we will come to him in obedience.
• Following worship, we had a wonderful lunch with Tom and Marge and a good friend who I have known for 40 years. Good Times!
• Special treat this morning; I connected with my former Old Testament professor from CFBC. I owe my love for the Old Testament to him! BTW he was also responsible for recruiting me to CFBC, his influence changed my life. Thank you, Doc!
• We went to Kissimmee Christian Church tonight to celebrate the 25th anniversary of a former intern now serving at KCC. Thank you Adam for your many years of service looking forward to you serving another 25 years.
• TODAY WAS A GOOD DAY!
• Our Life Group resumes this Friday night, looking forward to meeting face to face once again.
• I still remember where I was on 9/11. 
• Saturday's game did not turn out as I had hoped. There is always next week!
• Dolphins won today! 
• Is this the year?
• Question to Ponder; Why do Hotdogs come in a package of 10 and Hotdog Buns come in a package of 8? The world may never know.

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day!

• We worshiped at Kissimmee Christian Church this morning. 
• Jim did an excellent job focusing on the "I am's" of Jesus. Today we explored the idea of Jesus saying "I am the Ressurection and the life from John 11.
• Jim is correct, we all have an appointed time, so be ready!
• This message should be preached at every believer's funeral.  This is one of the best messages I have heard regarding the resurrection! 
• I had a great time at Christ's Church Mandarin last Wednesday sharing with the group the history of Johnson University Florida. 
• More churches in Florida need to embrace their program when it comes to ministering to seniors.
• Saturday night I was watching the Florida game and in the closing seconds, Lily decided she needed to go out. So thankful Lori volunteered to take her out so I could see the closing seconds! What a wonderful wife!
• BTW, it was an excellent finish!
• Dinner with some good friends Friday night, it is always a good time when I connect with Dave and Linda. 
• I love when the kids visit.
• It has been 3 weeks since I have had a soda, and I have not missed it!
• So tomorrow is the unofficial end of summer, the meteorologist is predicting a high of 94 degrees tomorrow. I guess Florida does not recognize the unofficial end of summer!
• I could blog more, but there is another game tonight.
• Something to Chew on; Our thoughts create our reality - where we put our focus is the direction we tend to go. ~ Peter McWilliams
