Trouble In The Tropics

BACK by popular demand – because at least a half a dozen friends and family requested it – it’s ‘Trouble In The Tropics’. But first here’s the legal disclaimer:

I am NOT certified by the American Meteorological Society. I do NOT work for the National Weather Service OR the National Hurricane Center OR the National Oceanic And Atmospheric Administration. I do NOT work for any television or radio station. I am merely an amateur weather forecaster with about 30 years of technical experience in the hobby. That’s all it is – a hobby. Utilize my weather forecasts in any way that you see fit. I tout about an 80% accuracy rate. Use common sense. Do what you feel is right.

OK – Now that I’ve got THAT out of the way – here we go:

ANA – I forecasted its first degeneration. It happened. I forecasted its second degeneration. It happened. Now I’m forecasting its total dissipation. It’s starting. Expect the remnants of Tropical Depression Ana to give us numerous showers and thunderstorms starting on Tuesday afternoon and continuing for about 24 hours until Wednesday afternoon. Some portions of the local Homestead area could receive 3 to 5 inches of rain. Highest wind gusts – 25 MPH at times. No worries.

BILL – Not a player for us. I’m forecasting it to intensify into a MAJOR Category 4 Hurricane and curve well out in the open Atlantic – possibly affecting Bermuda on Saturday. This was NEVER a player for us.

CLAUDETTE – Before she was Claudette she was all of that rain that we received during the day on Saturday (2-3 inches).

– It’s the middle Sunday of August of 2009.
– Homestead‘s Flagship Cinemas was the in-place to be this morning.
– That’s where we do church in a public setting.
– It’s how we roll every Sunday morning.
– Visit us at moviechurch.info for all of the 411.
– Lead Pastor Travis brought the message this morning.
– It was Week 6 of 6 of “Devastation And Redemption”.
– My two cents worth – It was the most relevant and powerful series of the year.
– Travis better bring it hard with the next message series !
– Today’s message was subtitled “Enjoy A Promised Land”.
– Let’s get cliché for a moment here: No pain – No gain.
– Take any circumstance, add God, throw in contentment, and you’ve got gain.
– If it don’t hurt then you’re too comfortable.
– You can’t grow if you’re too comfortable.
– If you’re not growing then you’re dying.
– Don’t be some wooden mannequin just sitting there watching time fly by.
– Do something.
– Activate.
– Be fruitful with your God-given talents.
– Expand His Kingdom.
– Everything else must be secondary to your personal relationship with Jesus.
– When other things are placed prior to God you can expect devastation.
– But God will always welcome you back with open arms.
– That’s redemption.
– Your heart can’t be right until your money is right.
– Your money can’t be right until your heart is right.
– We are destined for the prosperity of God.
– Once we truly believe in Him it all works out in the end.

This morning’s teaching was based on the following Books, Chapters, and Verses out of The Truth: James 1:2-4, 1 Timothy 6:6, Matthew 6:19-21, Joel 3:17-21, Revelation 21:1-7.

This week I celebrate the 3RD anniversary of my “Rebirthing”, and this Wednesday on “My Fantastic Journey: It’s In The Lyrics” I’m featuring the video to the song that was there for me on the radio in the beginning. Be sure to join me as the euphoria of God’s miracle continues. Until then may God Bless each and every one of you. Go forth and love God and Man with reckless abandon.

Saturday Night Retro

It all began 40 years ago today on the 15TH of August of 1969. Who knew that 500,000 hippies from all across the nation in search of peace and music would take part in one of the most pivotal weekends in American cultural history.

Woodstock

Some of the great musicians and bands that performed on that memorable weekend include (in alphabetical order) Arlo Guthrie, Blood, Sweat, & Tears, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young, Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix, Joan Baez, Joe Cocker, John Sebastian, Melanie, Richie Havens, Santana, Sly & The Family Stone, and The Who.

I was a mere 26-month-old toddler at the time of Woodstock, and I don’t remember it occurring. But the festival’s legacy shall never be duplicated, its Americana shall never be disputed, and its music shall forever be everlasting.

Here’s one of those great bands that performed at Woodstock exactly 40 years ago today on this Saturday in August. It’s John Fogerty, Tom Fogerty, Stu Cook, and Doug Clifford. The’re Creedence Clearwater Revival, and here’s their U.S. TOP 3 PLATINUM smash from late in 1969. This is “Down On The Corner”, and it’s one of the greatest rock songs of my lifetime. I present it to you for your ‘Saturday Night Retro’ review:

Nowadays you can catch him numerous times per week on tru TV‘s hit series “The Smoking Gun Presents: World’s Dumbest“. He’s 47-year-old Leif Garrett, and over 30 years ago he was one of the hottest television, movie, and music stars on the face of this Earth. He was a Rock, Pop, and Disco superstar with no less than 10 Billboard HOT 100 hits from 1977 to 1982. This was the biggest of them all – “I Was Made For Dancin'” – a TOP 10 Disco SMASH from 1979 !
