Here are my takeaways in 15 words or less:

– We’ve reached the 50-yard line of our ‘New Testament Challenge’.
– That’s 4 weeks behind us and 4 weeks in front of us.
– This week’s teaching from Pastor Travis – Servanthood.
– We must always put God first in our Life.
– Things in this world make us comfortable – but not closer to God.
– If we serve ourselves then we are merely selfish.
– If we serve God then we are living a great Life full of rewards.
– We must protect our attitude so that it reflects that of God.
– God wants us to look and act like his Son.
– We must pursue a lifestyle of servanthood.
– Even when the times are tough we must serve God.
– Even when the world is against us we must serve God.
– Especially when Satan is in full pursuit we must serve God.
– We must plant daily seeds of love and kindness.
– What can we do for the cause of Jesus ?
– This morning’s teaching was based on 17 Bible verses:
   – Philippians 2:5-11
   – Mark 10:45
   – Luke 16:13
   – Luke 22:42
   – Matthew 6:33
   – Galatians 5:22-23
   – 2 Corinthians 8:9
   – 2 Corinthians 9:6
   – Mark 8:35
   – Matthew 4:19

Philippians 2

Have the Attitude of Christ
1 Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ ? Any comfort from His love ? Any fellowship together in the Spirit ? Are your hearts tender and compassionate ?
2 Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose.
3 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.
4 Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.
5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
6 Though He was God, He did not think of equality with God as something to cling to.
7 Instead, He gave up His divine privileges; He took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When He appeared in human form,
8 He humbled Himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.
9 Therefore, God elevated Him to the place of highest honor and gave Him the name above all other names,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Saturday Night Retro

I have returned back home again safe and sound. I officially walked in to my home at 9:06 PM EST on this Saturday night. I haven’t seen daylight here in America’s Riviera since before the sun went down on Monday the 23RD of February.

February was a crazy month for me. During this past month I was transported in 5 states – Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas – and one foreign country – Mexico – via my own car, my parents’ car, my brother’s car, my brother’s wife’s minivan, a friend’s minivan, several taxicabs (two en Cozumel Mexico y one in Jacksonville Florida), a ferry (across the Mississippi River in New Orleans), a Carnival cruise ship (down the Mississippi River and across the Gulf Of Mexico), a couple of shuttle buses (en Progreso Mexico), a tour bus (in New Orleans), and 3 American Airlines jets.

It is now time to settle down and chill for a few months, so hopefully I can do just that starting tomorrow to kickoff the month of March.

In the meantime I present to you for your ‘Retro’ review this appropriate transportation-themed track. It’s the International pop smash “Joyride” from Roxette from 1991. It’s one of my all-time favourite songs ever, and it’s a family favourite for my Mom and my Brother. C’Mon Join The Joyride !

It’s just after 4:30 AM CST / 5:30 AM EST, and I’m wide awake on this Saturday morning. I can’t wait to get back in my own bed tonight for the first time since 5 nights ago (Monday). During the month of February I have slept in my own bed with my own blanket and my own pillow a grand total of 16 out of 27 nights. Tonight will be the 17TH night. Even more revealing is the fact that I’ve only been at work for 8.5 work days (out of a possible 19).

It all returns back to a normal routine starting tomorrow – appropriately the First of March. I’m looking forward to it. February has been way too hectic for me.

Today’s trek back home to Homestead involves my brother’s car to the airport (DFW), an American Airlines MD-80 jet from Dallas to Jacksonville, a random taxicab at the airport, and then finally my own car from Florida’s First Coast down to America’s Riviera.

Depending on how everything goes and how I feel tonight after this long trek back home again I’ll post a fresh new ‘Saturday Night Retro’ tonight. If I don’t do so then I must have gone to sleep immediately upon arrival of my own bed with my own blanket and my own pillow – or I never made it home.

Please pray for my safe return back home again.
