A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

• I had the privilege of preaching at Ocala Christian Church this morning.
• We looked at Philippians 1, focusing on the topic of Joy Stealers.
• Paul faced three circumstances that could have robbed him of joy: the chains, the critics, and the choice. But praise God—he chose joy.
• This week I was reminded how quickly an ordinary day can turn tragic. Some very dear friends of mine lost their granddaughter, and their pain is heartbreaking. Yet, I am thankful that our God provides comfort even in the most difficult circumstances.
• As their son wrote on social media: God is good, even when life is not.
• In times like these, the song by Jeremy Camp, There Will Be a Day, is a powerful reminder of the hope we have in Christ. I know this truth from personal experience.
• Something to Chew On:“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” —Psalm 34:18

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day…

• We worshiped at Kissimmee Christian Church this morning.
• Shawn began a new series covering the first ten chapters of the Book of Acts.
• This week’s message, from Acts 1:6-8, focused on one word: WAIT.
• A key point was that it is in the waiting that we hear from God.
• We also witnessed the baptismal waters stir once again—it’s always a joy to see the family of God grow. 
• Shawn’s emphasis on generosity was spot on. It’s true: when we are generous, lives are changed.
• Lately, we’ve seen why they call Central Florida the lightning capital of the world. The recent storms have been fierce!
• How can school be starting tomorrow already? Summer flew by for both students and teachers. 
• Do you remember when the first day of school was always the Tuesday after Labor Day?
• College football rankings are out—it will be interesting to see how they look come January.
• While grocery shopping at Walmart this week, I discovered Cherry Cola–flavored Oreos. I’m sorry, but that’s just wrong!
• Something to Chew On: An unexamined life is not worth living. ~ Socrates

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day…

• We worshiped this morning at Kissimmee Christian Church, where Shawn delivered a wonderful message on being like Jesus: If you want to be like Jesus, do what Jesus did.
• Last week, I traveled with Johnson’s president, Daniel Overdorf. Over five days, we covered 650 miles and made nine visits, introducing President Overdorf to some wonderful people in Florida.
• I often complain about Central Florida traffic, but South Florida traffic is on another level — horns constantly blaring, drivers zig-zagging through lanes, and six lanes going both directions make for some interesting driving!
• Speaking of South Florida — iguanas. Need I say more?
• We visited three thriving churches on our trip. It was great to see what God is doing through them — and by the way, all three are led by Johnson alumni!
• I’ve heard a lot of people talking about how hot it was last week. Just remember, in the words of Olaf the Snowman: It’s summer!
• Something to chew on:“A disciple is a lifelong learner, not an academic acquiring information about God, but a craftsman acquiring skills in the faith.”~ Eugene Peterson
