Life Pointe Church Sunday Morning Tossed Salad

1.  It was still twilight outside at 7:30 AM when we arrived at the movie theatre to transform it into our corporate place of worship that we know as Life Pointe Church. Just across the street at Campbell Drive Middle School Christ Fellowship Church was setting up their brand new location. I think that our stretch of Campbell Drive between our two places of worship should be renamed ‘King Of Kings Boulevard’.

2.  I learned this morning that Anne J. personally made all of the black tablecloths that are used on top of all of our Hospitality tables in the main lobby. They seem to be slowly disappearing too. I have a feeling that Anne will soon be making a few more for us.

3.  With Lisa and Luciana setting up the Kids’ Life Registration table every Sunday morning you just know that there’s going to be something different added to the display to enhance it even further. Pastor Paul stated announced that the Kids’ Life table and the Guests’ Information table are not in direct competition with each other. Thanks for the reminder Paul. I passed on that information to Terry and Patricia.

4.  Pastor Paul led this week’s teaching, and it was all about worship. It is the Spirit that refers to our expressions of worship, and it is the Truth that refers to our lifestyle of worship. We do not ‘go to’ worship. We do not ‘attend’ worship. We live worship. It is our lifestyle. Just as we do not ‘go to’ church or ‘attend’ church because that signifies that a church is a building. We are the church – 24-7.  Wherever we go, and whatever we do we should always be the church.

5.  We are just 12 days away from the biggest Easter celebration that Homestead has ever seen. It all happens on Good Friday March 21ST from 7 to 9 PM at Harris Field in the heart of Homestead as we present the ‘Moonlight Easter Egg Hunt’. For more information on this mega-extravaganza for the whole family be sure to check out our special web site for this event at easterinhomestead.com.

My Fantastic Journey: It’s In The Lyrics

“Blaze Of Glory” – Audio Adrenaline – 2006
(Originally performed by The Alarm – 1983)

It’s funny how they shoot you down when your hands are held up high. And you open up your heart and soul, but that’s not enough for most, NO !

I remember this much. There is nothing you shouldn’t speak of when you’ve got something to say.

Going out in a blaze of glory. My heart is open wide. You can take anything you want from me. There is nothing left to hide.

The law of the jungle says you look after yourself, but I remember this much. I love as I’ve been loved myself. Don’t forget what I told you now when the questions keeps on a-coming, and it’s ‘how much more can you take’ but you keep on.

Going out in a blaze of glory. Setting your sights on the sky. They can offer you anything at all, but your dreams must not be sold.

Going out in a blaze of glory. No price is high enough. I’m fighting back with feeling. I’m fighting back with love.

And the nails are hammered into your hands, and the cross is heavy. Keep on !  Don’t you know that it’s time to make a stand ?  It’s time to make a stand !

Going out in a blaze of glory. My heart is open wide. You can take anything you want from me. There is nothing left to hide.

Going out in a blaze of glory. My hands are held up high. I’m learning how to hit back. Yes I’m learning how to fight.

Going out in a blaze of glory.
Going out in a blaze of glory.
Going out in a blaze of glory.

{Fade Out.}

The Major’s Walk-A-Thon

Sky: Overcast, Windy, Drizzly
Temperature: 68°F
Relative Humidity: 92%
Winds: NW 8 MPH
Barometric Pressure: 30.03 Rising

My thoughts:

1.  At 7 AM this morning it was raining outside (just as I forecasted last night), so in lieu of walking I decided to go eating – at the Cracker Barrel. I enjoyed a MASSIVE breakfast consisting of 4 slices of french toast drowning in maple syrup, 2 scrambled eggs, 2 smoked sausages, hot coffee, and cold water. Now where did I put my Lipitor ?

2.  I got back home at 8 AM, and the rain had ended. I decided to walk the walk. It was the most unusual ‘Walk-A-Thon’ yet.

3.  My semi-basic 1.4-mile walk on a rare full stomach was done so during treacherous weather conditions – with thick dark clouds hanging low overhead, strong gusty northwesterly winds of up to 25 MPH, cold air pouring in, and even a little bit of leftover drizzle on this fresh side of the powerful cold front. I will dream of mornings like this from April through October when it’s hot and sticky outside with no wind.

4.  The ducks were out and about this morning, and they appeared to be lost, dazed, confused, and perhaps even drunk. They were stumbling about, wandering around with no sense of direction, and I saw one of them nearly tumble over in a state of mass chaos. They were wondering why the weather had suddenly changed on them. Some of them probably drank too much (rain).

5.  If my friends and acquaintances from my previous life (not capitalized) saw what I was doing today – walking, talking, laughing, and loving Life (capitalized) then they would think that I am not that same person that I was in my teens, 20s, and 30s. That plastic mannequin withered and rotted away. He died. I was reborn during the Summer Of 2006. I have a whole bunch of new friends now that are walking with me as we follow our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. These are my 40s, and everything I do I do it for God. AMEN !

Bedtime Stories

What a wonderful day it was today. I missed being with my co-workers at work, but the knowledge I attained, the experience I endured, and the fellowship I enjoyed with a bunch of my Life Pointe Church family members was all worth it. Thank You Jesus for continuously amazing me with these life-changing opportunities !

Are you ready to chill out South Florida ?  Get ready for a blast of cold air to invade our subtropical environment and temporarily halt the 85° temperatures that we’ve been enjoying for most of this past week. Temperatures will begin to take a hard tumble during the day on Saturday. It’ll start out warm and muggy in the morning, but then as the day progresses we’ll be dropping down into the 60s with wind chills into the 50s. Sunday morning we could experience temperatures in and around Homestead in the lower-50s with wind chills into the lower-40s !  Bundle up as you head to Life Pointe Church on Sunday !  We will struggle to hit the 70°F mark on Sunday afternoon despite wall-to-wall sunshine galore !

That’s ‘Bedtime Stories’ for this Thursday night. I’m going back to work tomorrow (Friday), but I’ll be back on the blog during the afternoon. I’ve got a special expanded ‘Friday Night Blogroll Review’ for you tomorrow night, so be sure to check it out !

Until then remember this:
