If you’re not following me on Twitter then have no worries, for I’ve got the best of the best tweets from this past week. They are listed in chronological order:

– Americans disrespected, insulted, and hated President Bush and few took a stand. One man yells ‘You Lied !’ and it’s International news. [8:08 PM Sep 15th from twitter.com]

– If President Bush had referred to Kanye West as a ‘J’ then the Democrats would be calling for impeachment hearings. Double standard. [5:19 PM Sep 16th from twitter.com]

– President Carter said that Senator Wilson is a racist. If so then there were lots of racists out there when President Bush was in office. [5:26 PM Sep 16th from twitter.com]

– The season finale of “America’s Got Talent” is tonight, and I’m rooting for Drew Stevyns. He’s a future pop-rock star a la Chris Daughtry. [6:10 PM Sep 16th from twitter.com]

– 14 days on the Carnival Freedom from Rome to Miami in 2007 wasn’t enough. I just booked 8 more for February 2010. Hola Costa Rica y Panama ! [8:12 PM Sep 17th from twitter.com]

– If our young adults believed and followed God and lived the words of His Truth then they would not be disrespecting and killing each other. [5:07 PM Sep 18th from twitter.com]

Life Pointe Church Sunday Morning Tossed Salad

– It’s my 32-month anniversary at the Homestead campus of Life Pointe Church.
– But who’s really keeping track of these statistics anyway ?
– I am – so that makes it relevant to me.
– That’s 32 months of hangin’ out with my best friends in the entire world.
– We hang out in a corporate gathering as we praise and worship Him.
– As we sing and talk to Him we learn more about Him so we can be more like Him.
– Lead Pastor Travis concluded our ‘Red Wagon Leadership’ message series.
– This week’s topic – ‘Pulling The Wagon With People In It’.
– Jesus Christ wants us all to pull a wagon with people in it.
– The goal is to get those people in the wagon their own wagon to pull.
– If you’re not pulling a wagon then what is your purpose on this journey ?
– If you’re always in the wagon then you’re not growing by taking any chances.
– The Bible: ‘Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you.’
– If you’re in the culture but you don’t totally trust Him then you’re powerless.
– You’re basically just doing your own thing and calling on God when it’s convenient.
– If you totally trust Him but you’re not in the world then you’re uncaring.
– You have an empty wagon, and you think you’re too good to lead the unchurched.
– One who believes and brags on Him to the world is leading the transformation.
– The wagon is full, and the Kingdom is expanding.
– I have problems.
– I have issues.
– I have bills to pay.
– Things don’t always go my way.
– I’m far from perfect.
– I need God.
– Look at me.
– See what God has done for me to totally change my Life.
– I once was lost, but now I’m found.
– I could not be who I am today without my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
– If you think there’s no hope for you then think again because God thinks otherwise.
– There are no impossibilities with God leading the charge.
– Give God a chance, and let Him show you the way.
– Get in my wagon, and I’ll show you what God can do for you.

This week’s teaching was based on the following scriptures out of The Good News: Matthew 28:19-20, John 3:16-21, 1 Corinthians 10:31-11:1, and Acts 17:30-31.

Be sure to check back here this Wednesday afternoon for another inspirational edition of ‘My Fantastic Journey: It’s In The Lyrics’, and next Sunday morning at 9:00 AM and 10:30 AM at the Flagship Cinemas in Homestead Florida we kickoff a fresh new message series that’s loosely based on the long-running series here on this blog – ‘The Fortune Cookie Message Of The Week Club’. It’s ‘Misfortune Cookie: Proverbs That Didn’t Work Out So Well’.

During the week I listen to The Call at home and in my car, and I listen to one of my iPod Shuffles at work that constains about 60% Christian music and 40% Secular music. On weekends I mostly listen to ‘90s On 9‘ on XM (Satellite Radio).

The 1990s was the greatest decade of music as far as I’m concerned. It was the soundtrack of my crazy life at the time (age 22 to 32). Thanks to God my Life today is far more superiour and worthwhile than it ever used to be; however, I shall never forget where I came from and what I used to be. It is an integral part of the constantly growing root and trunk system that comprises of my Life.

Personally the 1990s wasn’t particularly joyful or even professionally successful for me, but it did have its high points. Orlando was the place to party with my little brother during the late-1990s. It was our central meeting point when he lived up in Jacksonville. The Summer of 1993 was perhaps my personal Woodstock up in the Melbourne / Cocoa Beach area. Luckily it didn’t last very long, and I eventually went back to workin’ for a livin’. And then there’s the Summer of 1990. Dateline: Panama City Beach. It was the Summer of White Sands and Hard Rock. It was my extended Spring Break – long before it eventually became the college vacation destination that it is today. Although I would never do today some of the things that I did back then I will also never forget the times that once existed. It’s hard to forget when the music of the time plays on and on again.

Here’s one of those hard rockers that pulsated through the airwaves, into the bars, onto the dance floors, and through my ears back during that most memorable Summer of 1990. It was quite the “Epic” Summer as told by Faith No More:
