SPECIAL DOUBLE FEATURE !
– ‘A romantic evening awaits you tonight.’
MY RESPONSE – Not tonight. I have a headache to work tomorrow !
– ‘You have a strong desire for a home and your family interests come first.’
MY RESPONSE – I have a home in Homestead Florida, and I’ll be visiting my immediate family near Dallas Texas later this week.
It’s my takeaways from this morning at Life Pointe Church in Homestead Florida.
– Peter and Paul had an argument.
– There was a bit of a conflict between the two of them.
– Conflict is healthy.
– If everything was alike and everyone was identical there’d be no growth.
– No growth equates to death.
– There’s right versus wrong, good versus evil, and Point A versus Point B.
– We all have our own opinions and viewpoints.
– That even includes God-following-and-loving-Christians.
– We should not be spineless jellyfish.
– We should be louder and prouder than the extremely vocal non-believers.
– We should be brutally honest with each other to better ourselves.
– Our honesty should be based on love – not hurt.
– We must be totally obsessed with The Good News.
– The Bible is The Truth like nothing else is.
– The church is a constantly evolving living and breathing body.
– Be the church.
I won’t be at Life Pointe Church next Sunday morning, so if you really wish to know what happens then go and check it out for yourself because nobody else is going to blog about it. There are two services every Sunday morning at the Flagship Cinemas 14 on the south side of Campbell Drive (SW 312TH St. / NE 8TH St.) near the Turnpike. The 1-hour-and-15-minute services begin at precisely 9:00 AM and 10:30 AM. Admission is free, and so is the hot coffee and the delicious bagels with cream cheese. I’ll see you back there on the 28TH of June !
On the 14TH of June we celebrate Flag Day here in the U.S.A.
The National Flag Day Foundation
The Flag Of The United States Of America
TODAY – the 13TH of June – marks my 14TH anniversary of living right here in my current home in South Central Homestead Florida 33034. At 168 months this is by far the longest tenure for me in any home in my entire life. This surpasses the 69 months that I lived in Lanham Maryland (1975-1980), the 55 months that I lived in McLean Virginia (1980-1985), and the 57 months that I lived on the original Homestead Air Force Base (1987-1992).
It’s hard to believe that when I first moved here in my current home (from my previous home in nearby Naranja) the rest of my family was still living up in McLean Virginia for the 15TH year (out of 16). Since then my Mom and Dad and Brother have moved nearly a dozen times combined – halfway across the U.S.A. !
Back in 1993 after I got out of the Active Duty USAF (and before I started working back with the USAF again as a Civilian) I lived in a tiny studio efficiency of a couple hundred square feet in what could best be described as ‘a rundown apartment complex in a rough neighbourhood in the heart of Melbourne Florida’. I paid less than $200 per month in rent for that place, and that was pretty much what it was worth back then. Although I made some good friends there it was the closest that I’ve ever come to living in a crack den. 😯
Here’s a jam that was totally HOT on the radio and on the dance floors 16 years ago in 1993 while I was unemployed and trying hard to stay out of trouble in that rough ‘hood of Melbourne. It’s the U.S. # 1 platinum smash from Snow – and it’s all about that “Informer”. I present it to you for your ‘Saturday Night Retro’ review:
