Life Pointe Church Sunday Morning Tossed Salad

1.  You’ve got to arrive mighty early at the movie theatre on Sunday mornings to get there before Anne. She already had half of her car unloaded into the main lobby before I arrived there just a couple of minutes after 7:30 AM.

2.  The new layout and configuration of the Information Booth, Information Table, and Sales Table ‘on the right’, and Kids Life Registration Table ‘on the left’ worked out brilliantly and got rave reviews on the right, on the left, and in the middle. It really opened up the entrance leading to the Pier Hallway. The bottleneck congestion is no longer an issue.

3.  I’m not naming names, but if anyone was hiding behind Curtain # 1 ‘on the right’ then they were probably eating Dunkin Donuts, cherry turnovers, and bagels with cream cheese. Anne needs to acquire a registered copyright trademark for her out-of-this-world guava paste cream cheese. J.T. is still thinking of a good name for it.

4.  Pastor Travis talked all about ‘Vision For The People Of God’. You’ve got to see well beyond how things are to how they can, should, and need to be. If it’s not right then let’s make it right. Where do we get this vision from ?  There’s only one legitimate answer to that my friend. The Lord Almighty Above provides us with the vision, and He expects us to use the tools and talents that He gave us to get there.

5.  TODAY is my 47TH Sunday as a regular attender of Life Pointe Church, and on this 323RD day I took that next big step of my ‘Rebirthing’ by officially signing and dating on the dotted line of the Life Pointe Church Membership Covenant. I am now an official member of my Church. It is a truly distinct honour that will never be taken lightly. It is an absolute unification and commitment to God and my fellow church members that will never waver. It will only intensify.

Starbucks On A Saturday Morning

Florida City Florida is now officially on the map … now that Starbucks is open for business in town at the former longtime location of Miami Subs where Palm Drive (SW 344TH Street) meets Useless-One (U.S. 1).

My first impression of the outside of the place ? – The parking lot is ridiculous. I would have thought that they would have blown up the previous parking lot and started anew, but instead they just painted over it and re-striped it in a haphazard manner. Oh well. At least I found an open parking space (on a slight angled slope).

I walked inside of the joint, and it was music (loud) to my ears. It is paradise inside. I looked around for this dude, or this dude, or this dude, and none of them were inside camping out. I guess 7 AM on a Saturday morning is just a bit too early for them. Why I do more before 7 AM than they do … oh never mind.

I ordered the GRANDE Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha ($4.05) as well as a Sausage, Egg, & Cheddar Sandwich ($2.95). They didn’t have any peppermint left, so they offered (and I gladly accepted) the regular White Chocolate Mocha (that I am so familiar with). I grabbed my loot, and I took it all home with me. The sandwich was hot and scrumptious. The mocha (still drinking it) is warm and tasty.

I am truly impressed with this particular location of Starbucks, and I shall return to it on a regular basis – poorly-constructed parking lot notwithstanding.

Bring on the other 3 planned Starbucks in and around Homestead – especially the one less than a mile from my workplace. Once that one opens for business we might as well have our ‘Commander’s Calls’ there because half of the base will be there lined up for coffee before each work day begins.
