Bedtime Stories

As I begin writing this blog entry tonight there are just about 115 minutes remaining in 2008. I’ll probably be in bed asleep as 2009 officially arrives, but I’ll catch it fairly new – about 6 or 7 hours – once I awake in the morning.

2008 was the greatest year of my entire Life, and I expect 2009 to surpass it – just as 2008 surpassed 2007 – and 2007 surpassed 2006. It just keeps on getting brighter and more glorious on God’s fantastic journey for me. He constantly amazes me with His miracles.

If you wish to see why 2008 was so glorious for me then simply read any of the 613 blog entries that I posted – at least one per day – every single day from January 01ST through December 31ST.

Thank You Everyone for spending just a small portion of your Life with me via this blog and-or LIVE and in-person. Let’s keep on doing it into 2009. I’m ready. You ?

Until we hang out again in 2009 I wish you a very Happy New Year, and REMEMBER THIS !  It’s a Chevrolet commercial in living technicolor from nearly 60 years ago that plays more like a Chamber Of Commerce promo for the Miami Florida area – the way that it was back in 1950 !

Life Pointe Church Sunday Morning Tossed Salad

Pastor Travis led us. Here are my bulletted takeaways in 15 words or less:

– The church is a spiritual organism.
– It’s a living breathing body with Jesus as the head.
– It’s composed of born-again people.
– Whereever you are – be there.
– That means that if you’re at church then be the church.
– Just because you show up for church doesn’t mean that you are the church.
– God has chosen you to follow Him.
– Some people do so enthusiastically.
– Some people politely turn Him down.
– Some are in total defiance of Him.
– We should always pursue purity and holiness.
– We will never be perfect.
– We tend to pursue sin more than we pursue Jesus.
– We need to starve and kill the sins.
– We can’t serve two masters.
– God is the only Master that should matter.
– We should always believe in Him – even when it’s inconvenient to do so.
– If you’re comfortable on this journey then you’re not living.

Monday Night Countdown

This week on the ‘Countdown’ I present to you the TOP 5 (+ 1) Scriptures out of the Good News that were referenced on actual Christmas cards that were sent or given to me by friends and family during this most festive of holiday seasons.

Always remember the true reason for the season.

6.  Isaiah 9:6 – And His name shall be called The Prince of Peace.

5.  Luke 2:9 – And, lo … the Glory of the Lord shone round about them …

4.  Luke 1:46-47,49 – And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For He that is mighty hath done to me great things; and Holy is His name.

3.  Ruth 2:4 – The Lord be with you !  The Lord bless you ! …

2.  Philippians 4:4 – Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again. Rejoice !

1.  James 1:17 – Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights.

May we walk together as we always follow Him on this journey.

Have a very Merry Christmas everyone !

Life Pointe Church Plantation Key Lime Pie

This morning a cool dude at the Homestead campus of Life Pointe Church asked me if I was going to be at the Plantation Key campus tonight. I said ‘No’, and I followed-up my response with the fact that I would be at home watching my precious Washington Redskins on local TV this afternoon.

About an hour later I was filling up my car with gas at Chevron in preparation for a possible visit to the Plantation Key campus.

Four hours later I was driving down U.S. 1 on my way there.

Jesus is more important than the Redskins. Jesus is urgent.

Pastor Bill Wilson had me in stitches and moved me to tears during this morning’s first service at the Homestead campus. There was no way that he could possibly do that all over again during tonight’s service, right ?  Wrong.

I get it.
