Sunday Night Reflections

 A Few thoughts from an Amazing Day...

  • Worshiped at Kissimmee Christian Church this morning.
  • After a six-week absence, it was great to worship with the Kissimmee family.
  • I wrapped up my interim preaching at Citrus Ridge Church last night as I finished the series, "I am dreaming of a Right Christmas."
  • Last night's message, "A Right Response."
  • The key point, the right response to the birth of Christ is worship!
  • Social media is a terrible place for theological debates.
  • Remember, only a unified church can reach a broken world.
  • I am afraid the Fins are headed for another December Swoon.
  • The weather outside is truly FRIGHTFUL!
  • Something to Chew on; The leader's focus it to encourage the many; mentor the few. ~ John Maxwell

Sunday Night Reflections

 A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

  • I preached at Citrus Ridge Church this morning. I continued in my series, I'm Dreaming of a RIGHT Christmas.
  • This week's message; "A Right Pace"
  • The key point of today's message is; We are often too busy doing Christmas that we forget to celebrate Christmas.
  • Remember the angel's message, They shall call Him Immanuel, God with us, and that my friend is worth celebrating.
  • Preaching the message of Christmas is second only to preaching about the Ressurection of Jesus.
  • I close out my preaching at Citrus Ridge next Saturday evening with a message titled; "A Right Response"
  • Our first semester is in the books at JUFL. How can 17 weeks go by so fast?
  • If there was ever a year I wanted the College Football season to be over, Last night's bowl game was proof enough that it was not a good season.
  • So thankful for all the well wishes regarding my illness last week.
  • You know you are a loyal Amazon customer when they send you a get-well card! 
  • Something to Chew On; Galatians 4:4-5 in the words of the famous theologian, Linus, "That is what Christmas is all about Charlie Brown"

Sunday Night Reflections

 A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

  • No preaching or church visit today, I have been sidelined by an Upper Respiratory Infection.
  • I feel miserable.
  • On top of the Upper Respiratory Junk, I have lost my voice. 
  • As a result of the virus, I have lost my voice, and I can barely whisper, others may say that I a blessing, but it is limiting me from talking to Lori today. Not Good!
  • I can text, but it is not the same.
  • The only good thing about this junk is I can watch football today.
  • Last night was our annual Night of Noel at JUFL. A Wonderful program and so good to reconnect with our friends. 
  • So thankful for the many volunteers who helped pull off the event.
  • This is finals week at JUFL, should be an exciting week. Said no student ever!
  • I had forgotten how good Campbells' chicken noodle soup tastes.
  • Here is an idea, put cold medicine in Oreos.
  • Something to Chew on; Stay focused instead of getting offended or off track by others. ~ John Maxwell

 A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

  • I preached at Citrus Ridge Church this morning. I kicked off the Christmas series, "I am dreaming of a RiGHT Christmas"
  • We seldom have a perfect Christmas, but we can always have a right Christmas.
  • A Right Christmas begins with a right focus.
  • I had a great time at the annual Tison Christmas party Saturday.
  • I am so blessed to be a part of a large family. 
  • We had 50+ family members attend this year. I am starting to have a hard time remembering all my cousins' names!
  • Thank you, Troy and Nacy for the slide show and for arranging the special guest. 
  • Our special guest really made an impact on the little Tisons!
  • This is the last week of instruction at Johnson University Florida, next week is finals. This semester has gone by so fast.
  • I attended the Candlelight Processional at Epcot this last week. The music and message continue to be top-notch. 
  • This Saturday is our annual Night of Noel at JUFL. I look forward to meeting some of our partners as we present our program.
  • Homemade Christmas Cookies Rock!
  • By the way, I found White Chocolate Oreos, life is good.
