Sunday Night Reflections

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

• It was Two-fer Sunday today as we worshiped at Kissimmee Christian Church this morning and then traveled to Poinciana Christian Church this evening to hear the JUFL Choir and Choral Society. 
• Jim's message from Hebrews 10 regarding instant access was inspiring. To think that we no longer need the blood of animals to roll back our sins nor do we wait for a high priest to intercede for us is a great comfort. 
• I am going to do "a deep dive" into the book of Hebrews this summer. I am looking forward to the study.
• We are blessed to have Dirk and Ruth lead the choir and choral society. None better!
• Another Imagine Banquet is in the books, thanks to our generous friends we were able to add more scholarship funds for our students.
• Great dinner with our Life Group Friday night. We are taking a 2-month hiatus before we resume in July. 
• Well, this is it, graduation at JUFL is Friday. Another 34 alumni will be added to our number.
• Do you remember your college graduation?
• Another friend of mine has lost her battle with cancer this week. I am so glad there will be a day when ALL our tears will be wiped away.
• Watching the NFL draft is a reminder 2023 Football season is getting closer.
• The traffic in Kissimmee is bad enough to make a preacher curse! 
• Something to Chew on; Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power. ~ Abraham Lincoln

• We worshiped at Citrus Ridge Church this morning.
• So good to reconnect with good friends. The church family at Citrus Ridge are some of the most genuine people I have met in my many travels around Florida.
• Today's message focused on the trials of our Lord experienced prior to His crucifixion. 
• This morning's key point is that the trials of Jesus remind us evil will do whatever it takes to push its agenda.
• I miss preaching during this time of year.
• After 5 straight Sundays representing JUFL in churches around Florida, I get to worship at Kissimmee next week, I am looking forward to being with my church family on Resurrection Sunday!
• I represented JUFL at a funeral of a former trustee of Florida Christian College Saturday. Aubrey served as a trustee at a critical time in the college's history. So thankful for his wisdom and leadership.
• Saturday night's buzzer-beater was one for the ages!
• Who do you have for the "One Shining Moment"?
• We are less than 5 weeks away from the end of another school year at JUFL. Hey students, remember to finish strong!
• Something to Chew on; Often in life, we forget what we should remember, and remember what we should forget. ~ Anonymous
