A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day... 

• We worshiped at Kissimmee Christian Church this morning.
• Shawn continued his series on everyday discipleship.
• Shawn preached a great message on a topic we seldom hear in today's pulpits - SIN!
• The impact of our sin is devastating to all of us.
• Because of Sin, we are powerless.
• He is correct we cannot fix our sin problem, we need outside help, and that help is Jesus.
• Our life group kicked or a new study Friday evening. Focusing on what it means to honor the Sabbath.
• God designed us to have a rhythm in this life and part of that rhythm is rest.
• Why is it when we set about time to rest we sometimes feel guilty?
• NFL playoff games played up north are brutal.
• With the college football season coming to a close tomorrow evening there is one question; Indiana or Miami?
• My first major project in retirement, organizing the garage, Fun Times - NOT!
• Something to Chew on; No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn't trying. ~ Anonymous

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

• We worshiped at Kissimmee Christian Church this morning.
• Shawn focused on what it means to be a disciple.
• Loving God and Loving Others is the foundation of being a disciple.
• We attended the funeral of a Proverbs 31 lady Saturday. She was the ideal minister's wife and a wonderful adopted grandmother to my oldest son, David.
• Today she is resting in the arms of Jesus.
• Once again I discovered this is truly a small world as I reconnected with people from my first youth ministry over 40 years ago.
• So many good memories to share.
• Football wrap up #1, Indiana is for real.
• Football wrap up #2, passes intercepted after the ball is deflected should not be charged to the quarterback. Sorry Trevor.
• Something to Chew on; As we begin a new year listen to the words of Isaiah - Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing. ~ Isaiah 43:18-19 (ESV)

• We worshiped at Kissimmee Christian Church this morning.
• Shawn had a wonderful message based on the two lost sons of Luke 15.

• Great things are happening at KCC.
• My first week as a retiree from full time work went well.

• Peanut Butter Fudge gone,  Chocolate Santa gone, Chex Party Mix gone, so glad I hide the White Chocolate Oreos!
• Something to Chew on; One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple. Psalm 27:4 (ESV)
