 A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

• While JUFL does not close for several months, there are times I am saddened to think soon all that will be left are the memories of our dear institution.
• With the closing of JUFL, I am not sure what the future holds for me, but I know who holds the future and that is enough for me. 
• Yesterday was a wonderful day to spend time with a friend of JUFL Her generosity is humbling.
• I saw a road sign this weekend stating another road in Kissimmee is about to be under construction, It is wonderful to know there will be no traffic in Heaven.
• We are less than 100 days until Christmas.
• Do you remember the Sears "Wish Book"?
• The Publix "Thanks Chris" commercial is worthy of a Hallmark movie.
• Last evening was a pleasant surprise, Go Gators!
