• Key Point #1, The people had a hope, but God had a plan.
• Key Point #2, God's plans always come about on His timetable.
• We also made it to the second service at Kissimmee Christian Church this morning for Jim's farewell message.
• So thankful I was able to serve along side of Jim for numerous projects at Florida Christian College and Kissimmee Christian Church.

• Only 24 shopping days left! Choose Wisely!
• College Football Season is almost over, what will I do with my Saturdays? Oops, I spoke to soon, Lori has a "honey do" list waiting for me!
