Greetings my friends. It is Sunday December 22ND 2024, and this is the day that our LORD has made. Let us rejoice. Let us be glad in it. Let us celebrate this great new day of believing, following, trusting, loving, and being more like our Lord + Savior Jesus Christ. Let us love our neighbor as ourself.

It’s another frigid morning in the low-40s here in Sebring. It feels like Christmas. It also looks like Christmas – with all of the beautiful trees, and decorations, and lights everywhere I go.

I’m looking forward to celebrating the season with my Highlands Community Church family this morning at 10 AM. (Service starts at 10:30 AM.) We’re also hosting our “Christmas Eve Candlelight Worship Gathering” at 7 PM this Tuesday night. If you’re in the local #SebringFL / #HighlandsCountyFL area, and you don’t already have a home church (or they don’t have a Christmas Eve service) – then I invite you to come join us. We are a no judgment “come as you are” church. No need to dress up. Be yourself. Wear what’s comfortable. But remember – it’s cool outside, and it may be cool inside too.

We’re also on YouTube, and all of our services are presented LIVE and forever at – https://www.youtube.com/@HighlandsCommunityChurch-bw5yi

Finally – our Senior Pastor Tim recently did a podcast titled “Christmas: Jesus The Light”. It’s a little less than 6 minutes long, and you can hear it at – https://sebring.com/?p=podcasts_listen&pid=226

My testimony is featured each week here on #SundayScripture – whether it’s part of a sermon, a testimony, or just me writing about the events of the past week. Hopefully it encourages you and inspires you to seek the Lord – and get closer to Him with each new day.

If you wish to learn more about the God I know – then stay tuned to #SundayScripture. The best is yet to come !

Thank you for reading my blog for this day, and may:

The LORD bless you, and keep you.
The LORD make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you.
The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. AMEN.

Greetings my friends. It is Sunday December 15TH 2024, and this is the day that our LORD has made. Let us rejoice. Let us be glad in it. Let us celebrate this great new day of believing, following, trusting, loving, and being more like our Lord + Savior Jesus Christ. Let us love our neighbor as ourself.

This morning I’m in Homestead Florida for the final morning of 2024. I spent 42 nights in Homestead in 2024 – the least since 1993 when I was living elsewhere due to the damage and destruction of Hurricane Andrew. My number of nights in Homestead in 2025 will be far less than 42, but I’ll still visit occasionally.

Later this morning I’ll get to enjoy the Living Waters Full Gospel Church experience – my home church from 2015 to 2024. Looks like a small group of us will be enjoying fellowship and Mexican food for lunch after church. After that – I return back home to Sebring.

That’s what I hope to do when I get back home. I pray that I spend more time in God’s Word so that I may get closer to Him with each new day. I have a Communion to write for January as well as 3 different sermons. Looks like I’m preaching in Homestead for a few weeks at the end of February and start of March.

Let the message about Christ – in all its richness – fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom He gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts. (Colossians 3:16 NLT)

Greetings my friends. It is Sunday December 08TH 2024, and this is the day that our LORD has made. Let us rejoice. Let us be glad in it. Let us celebrate this great new day of believing, following, trusting, loving, and being more like our Lord + Savior Jesus Christ. Let us love our neighbor as ourself.

This past Tuesday night at Men’s Fellowship at my home church – a small gathering of us enjoyed great fellowship, chili cheese hot dogs, potato chips, and Scripture from Titus. We read and discussed Titus 3:9-11 (NASB 1995):

But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and strife and disputes about the Law, for they are unprofitable and worthless. Reject a factious man after a first and second warning – knowing that such a man is perverted and is sinning – being self-condemned.

And that’s why I spend little to no time commenting on certain Facebook pages. I have found that some of the most divisive and disrespectful church people on social media – are church leaders (Pastors, Preachers, Ministers, etc.), or those posing as such.

Greetings my friends. It is Sunday December 01ST 2024, and this is the day that our LORD has made. Let us rejoice. Let us be glad in it.

I’m back home where I belong in Sebring Florida today. I returned home from #DFW this past Friday night. I’ll recap my fun with my family in North Texas on my next #TravelThursday in 4 days.

I’m celebrating a couple of anniversaries today:

37 years ago – I arrived in Florida for the first time as an Air Force Airman. I landed at #MIA late on the evening of November 30TH 1987, and I got on base (Homestead AFB) after Midnight that night. It would be my place of employment for the next 36 years and 3 months (aside from 19 months directly after Hurricane Andrew).

The other anniversary has to do with this blog. It officially debuted here on the WordPress platform exactly 17 years ago today on December 01ST 2007. (It moved over here from Myspace.)

I’m excited to be back with my Highlands Community Church family for the first time in 3 weeks. I’m leading Communion this morning. I’m looking forward to returning to a regular routine this coming week – with neighborhood activities on Monday and Saturday, museum activities on Tuesday and Wednesday, and church activities on Tuesday and Friday.

Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth. (Proverbs 10:4 NIV)
