Here is a picture of the sunrise on March 21st. Getting ready to pack everything up and get going back home.

Hey I had to just stop in and say goodbye to Mark. He is the one overseeing the Planetarium. Mark is back and loves every minute he gets to share with the students and anyone else that comes to
The Adventure Learning Centre.
You can see their web site on Facebook.
This is the gentlemen that does all the ground keeping there is to do. He was just starting here before I left in 2014. So, he has been the main guy to keep this place looking so nice and well groomed.
I am sorry to say I forgot his name. SORRY buddy.
This is Camille, her, Eldora and Tika keep this camp going. They are the ones that clean and get the camp ready for the guest that come to visit and help out and do whatever is needed.
It sure was a nice blessing to be able to meet everyone again and just get a little caught up and see my old friends.
This is the New Bath House. I was the one that cleared the land and get it ready to pour the foundation.
It did take a few years to build it and get it ready for the folks that stay here at the camp. It has been a BIG Blessing too.
When I first came in 2005. This was our bath house. Very small but it worked, and many people have used this place, So PLEASE, Lord keep Your hand on all that goes on here.
I put all this rock down when I was here. I just remember so many things about living and just enjoying my life back then. Go to the left, that is the Dining Hall and to the right, Basketball Court. Many nights I would lay on the bench in that basketball court and pray, for people and folks that come here and that it will be a changing place for them and everyone that steps their foot on this land and see GOD HANDS.
Oh, a short story. That basketball court is where I saw God's hand. (2005) I was laying on the bench and asked God, if you want me to come here and oversee the camp and maintenance at the ALC? I asked for a shotting star. I didn't even get the words out and there is was. A shooting star shot across the sky and HIS PEACE CAME UPON ME. From that day I went home and told my boss Jerry Sanders. I was working at Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale. I oversaw the parking Ministry, plus other areas I oversaw.
I came to the ALC on June 2nd, 2005. I stayed here until June 2, 2014. So, in those 9 years, I was living here.
Those are the cables. These are thew building that our guest stays at.
Folks just thinking of all that was going on then, I was so very blessed and just loved being here.
Hey, don't get me wrong, I am very blessed now too. Being married to my wonderful wife Jeanne and all that we do. Thank you again LORD.
We got the car loaded up and said our goodbyes and got on the road and headed for the airport.
Just maybe down the road we will be back and help out. At this time, we just have so much going on at school and our home. No promises.
I dropped off Jeanne and luggage and drove the rental back to Budget. All went well the price stayed and just told them, the car might need brakes pads. The reason is they were scraping pretty good.
Just a head up.
Got inside and got everything straighten out and heading to the TSA and then Customs.
Jeanne had to take her carry one back to be checked in. The reason is she had six or many seven Conch Shells in that bag. I guess they can be used as weapons. So, I got upstairs and waited for her.
I am not sure, but I bought her a muffin or a bagel plus a drink.
Meanwhile our flight has been delayed. The reason was, they only have two landing strips. Well, I guess they had to shut one down for something. So, the flight that was coming from Fort Lauderdale was up in the air, going around the landing strip. They had to fly back to Fort Lauderdale, to get refilled with fuel.
I am not sure what all that was going on. But we tried to keep informed. Asking the folks at the corner. But sometimes they didn't know either. So, I guess we will get something to eat.
I guess Wendy's is the place for lunch. I think we both got #1.
Meanwhile we heard someone yelling and asking folks different questions and making jokes up too. It was this pirate that is always downtown walking around doing the same. asking questions and inviting people to the Pirate Museum downtown Nassau. I really thought it was a great way to get people interested in maybe going to the Pirate Museum. Jeanne that he was very annoying. I thought he was funny, and he got my attention.
Okay, we are sitting in our gate. Then I heard, Flight #1394 is flying out of gate #51. Now that gate is on the other side of the airport. So, we pretty much ran to get to that gate and boarding has already started. We made and I was telling the guys at the ticket booth, her I think you should send someone back to gate 40, to tell folks that we are getting ready to fly out at gate #51. He told me that they did send someone there.
There is our plane. Yes, we were on the tar mat. It was kind of neat. To get a close up and see the things going on behind the curtain. Hey, they took my bag anyway. There was no room for carry on. So, it was nice and easy to get on the plane and just sit down and wait to get going.
Now that is a close up.
Folks our time here was very enjoyable and relaxing too. We didn't do any main work. Just cleaned up the camp house we stayed at.
I can tell you this, I really love being here and if I was not married to Jeanne, I would be back here in a heartbeat.
It comes down to where does God want me. I believe I am exact place God WANTS ME.
Please keep Adventure Learning Centre in your prayers and maybe down the road, the church you are part of, could make a mission trip out of coming here and helping out?
I will be asking Calvary Chapel Vero Beach about a mission trip here one day.
