These people are from Calvary Chapel Ft.Laud

This is the one that bucked me last week.

Okay now I can tell you why all the log in today

This week that has passed as been a real stretch for me. First Saturday after noon. I took the group that is below to the canals. We went there to go swimming and just relax. I left my phone on a towel and came back and it was gone. My problem, really, I saw the people sitting around and figure they would not touch my phone. Please don't be like me, trusting every one. So after that day I could not talk with no one by phone. First problem is I don't have numbers. That is right PLEASE take ten minutes and write down all your numbers in your phone. If not when you get it stolen or miss placed. They are gone for good.
Sunday was a nice day to relax. But I had a group in and had to make sure they cleaned up and left around 2pm. Looking at the pictures below, you see a freezer with colored water under it. This got unplugged by that group. Now it really was not their fault. By looking at the way the plug is in the wall. There is a surge protector on it and weights the plug down. It just fill out and was laying on the floor. No one saw it. So Thursday morning I was going around and checking to see how the kitchen looked and the back apartment. (Oh mean while Steve's group left last Tuesday morning). I saw the mess on the floor and just shook my head and said WHY? By looking at it I can see how it fill out. I put a pumper strap on it and it will not fall out again.
Monday went down and go a new sim chip and I have a phone again. Remember to write the numbers down????
Tuesday morning we had some trouble with the electric at the Centre. I tried to start up the generator. Battery dead. mean while Spot (Large sheep)came over to me and bucked me and my knee as been in pain since. I hit him over the head with a two by four. He just looked at me and said let play some more. We need to get him a friend or rite of him. I know some others have been bucked by him before. Now remember I did teach him that trick when he was a lamb. I would put my fist out and say come on hit it. He learned fast and now I get the pay back.
We got the electric back up, but I was still hurting, and still are.
Wednesday my next group came in, Calvary Chapel Ft Laud. 8 of them. They got in the I took them around and Mark showed them what and why we do what we do. Then the next day they were pretty much on their own. They did well. I think?
Friday Harri came in to help me. Which was a neat time to share and just get some work done. The toilet below is still leaking? We know now what is wrong. The tank has a crack and the water is dripping out there. I bought some stuff Harri told me that would work. I hope Monday to fix that.
Friday the train battery dead. So pulled it and put a charge on it. Plus a couple of others things broke too. But over all we are in good shape.
Saturday fixed the train. Then the van battery went dead? Pulled it out and it is on the charger as I write. Pulled the battery out of the Ford. Now that doesn't have a battery. The Jeep and Ford no battery. Hopefully Monday we should be in good shape. Prayerfully.
Today Sunday, I have been able to get on my blog and write and pictures all kinds of tings. I could not get onto my blog log in last week. I was using Fire Fox. Now using Explorer. That is why I have not written on it since last week end.

Saying good bye to a real neat group of freinds.

This was a waste of around $250.00

I am so blessed to have friends like Harri

These are my kids that stayed this week-end, Plus one brave boy with Scooby

About the people below

Looking at the picture, you will see the following,Levi, Lindsay,Tricia,Cindy,Sheryl and Steve, Youth pastor over seer and just a good old guy.
Well this group of 6 started out with 7. But on the flight coming over one guy Tim got a sick spill. He got off and went back home. Plus he got his money back, surprises. Like I said they came in on Tuesday and will be here until this coming Tuesday. While here this is who and what they have been up to.
Wednesday got up and I took them to a place called BAFPD This is a school for people that have some handy caps. So they worked there until around 3pm.
Thursday they stayed with our crew and help out with 50 kids that came in from the schools here.
Friday I had them set up to be at Bahamas Humane Society. There they cleaned out cages and just did what was told for them to do. They worked so hard that they finished all of their chores by 11:00am. Then they went driving around and just checking this place out.
Saturday I worked them for about 3 hours. Cleaning and filling water bottles and digging a hole for our small pond we want to put into the goat pasture. Then we all went out to eat some good old food at the Fish Fry. Then Star Bucks and the Dig. Got home at 11pm.
Sunday then did their own church at the real nice beach called Cabbage Beach.
Mean while this week end I had others here too at the Camp. Seven Day Adventists. They brought in 68 kids and 20 leaders to stay here from Friday night 3pm until about a hour from now. Sunday 1pm.
So over all this week and end has been full of all kinds of things to fix and repair too. It is all to bring glory to His Name and by tomorrow this place will be back in order. God willing plus my other helpers (6)

This is a prayer request this morning

Mom's purse was stolen out of Dot & Carl's car yesterday afternoon. They were dropping Joy off after they had been to register to vote. Mom went to help Joy inside, Carl was at the gate and Dot was sitting in the front passenger seat. They were going to take mom to the hospital to get Joy's medication which is why she left her purse in the car. Dot heard a thump on the side of the car and thought it was Carl coming around on that side of the car but when she looked, she saw a young guy high tailing it through the corner near us.

The biggest issue is that mom and Joy's passports were in the purse. Pray that the guy just took the money and leaves the rest of the stuff to be found.

Yes God does answer PRAYERS

My aunt just borrowed my car to go to the store in Harbour Bay. She was passing a house around the corner that no one is living in. She thought she glimpsed mom's purse in an enclosure for garbage tins. She stopped and looked and it was her purse. Some stuff was outside the purse but everything that she had in the purse was still there including the passports. The only thing missing was the cash!!


Dot and those had driven around there yesterday to see if they saw anything but didn't see anything.


Thanks to everyone for praying.

Prayer requset from a good friend, Harri

Mario asked me to pray for his 1 year old daughter Glenda Vitoria. She
was born prematurely and has had respiratory problems since birth.
Recently they have gotten worse. Sometimes the mucous buildup in her
lungs and nasal passages makes her stop breathing, and she begins to
turn blue. This of course, scares her parents to death as they race to
remove the congestion from her nose and mouth and get her breathing
again. They have a June consultation with a neurologist and hope to get
the meds she has taken since birth updated to her current weight and
growth. Please pray that the Lord would protect this young life and give
Glenda a chance to grow up.

This group is from Delaware.

Please take a couple of minutes to watch this below

Please watch. Each viewer counts and it is only 2 minutes long.

Keith Leibovitz's youngest nephew is working on a project for WW II veterans. And enclosed is a "trailer". They are trying to get 50000 views before Memorial Day. It is pretty poignant and is one of Seth's projects. Kindly forward so more can view it. You need to view the whole thing to be counted, it's only 2 min long.
Seth has been working on a full-length feature documentary about a program to honor WWII vets and has now released a trailer, and it would really help out if you watched it in full, and spread it around to other folks who would enjoy it. Working on this has bee n a very emotional experience, because the story is so, so powerful. I think you'll agree.

Please copy this and paste it on your web site. I really think we need to pass this on to all of us that live in freedom. Thanks you vets fro what you have done.

Pastor Chet and Pastor Jym came over to spend the day with us.

Just finished dropping these two off at the airport

I had a nice time with these guys on Tuesday night Prayer Meeting

This is in Florida. This is God's morning call

Last night I had a nice time, dinner and fellowhip

Yesterday was Mother's Day

I was wondering if you folks out there really spent sometime with your mom's? The reason I say this is. Pretty much during yesterday, I was thinking of my mom, Elleen and Florance (step). Well if you don't know this. Elleen passed back in 1966. She was in a car wreck with my dad. That day was Mother's Day. She passed the following Saturday. My father lived another 36 years and during that time he was married to a wonderful woman named Florance. She was the one that was there when I was in my teen ages. So for her and I we didn't see eye to eye on a lot of things. But down the road while I was getting older we pretty much understood each other and that was a good time. Then my dad passed in 2002. So her life somewhat changed. My sister Betsy and her hubby Lenny pretty much took care of her until 2009.
I can remember the times we had, some bad, but most good.
So yesterday I went over to my sister's home, Betsy's and Lenny and sat around and just had a nice time to remember and talk about how her live was very rewarding and how there was some trouble and you know time to pull your hair out? But the neat thing is how my sister was always there for her and Lenny too. They really had their hands full with her. But in the end we all can say she was a good woman and she did love your family, most times.
To say all this is please spend time with your mom. The reason is next year you might not be able to.
I ask for your prayers for my sister. She had some work done on her legs and it really has been a rough road for her. She is in pain more now after the work. So if you think of her say a prayer or Two.

Just want to give you a update on what has been going on here.

Yes my time has been flying by. I came here on Wednesday the 4th. Today is the 8th. Wednesday after getting here I went to Calvary Chapel and spent some time with Jon Bunch. Good time to go get caught up on what God has been doing in his life and a update on Calvary. It sure is nice to ride around and have good time of sharing. Jon was telling me about his ministry and all the guys he gets to listen to and pray for.
Then I went to church. Pastor Chet taught on the end times and he was very impacting. It is so true about this time of our lives. Just look around and see all the times that have happen and what will happen today?
Thursday was a day to do a little shopping. Then that night I had the honor to go to Calvary's Mission Class. which you see below a picture of the class. This class is teaching and training people to see and if God is calling them to the mission field. This class is #2, which means they had a chance to hear about countries and how people lives. Now this one is about putting your feet to the pavement and see if you are willing to go out and be those missionaries. Now if you just think being a missionary, going to another land or have to have a degree. That is not so at all. We all are in the mission field each and everyday we live on this earth. Just think about the people you work with. That is your mission field?
Well the reason Pastor Jym asked me to come and speak was. I am not the one to spread the Word by teaching or even preaching. My way is doing the work so someone else can do that work. We all have gifts and mine is helps and servicing other needs so they can do their gifts. So if you don't feel called to teach or anything like that. Maybe you are the one to help others so they can. I would love to be the one on the stage and teach. But my teaching is showing and helping others. That is why I am at Adventure Learning Centre, Nassau, Bahamas. So this was a time to show we all have a calling.
Then Friday I did more shopping and then that night I had a chance to spend sometime with a friend (Rose) We went out and had Char Hut. Then went to the movies. We went to the show and it really was not that good. I will not go into what it was at this time. Because I am not sure what the name was. It just was a time to enjoy a show and that is all it was. Rose and I have been friends for these many years. During our time we just sat and talked about what and how our Lord has been doing so many tings in our lives. It is so good to see a smiling face and enjoy each other company.
Saturday, guess what I did? Shopping a little. Then had a lunch with a other friend. Dana. She was telling me that this summer she will be getting married. Well the time went by fast and she has a bug problem. So we cut our time short. She had a guy coming over to debug her place. Then that night I went to Calvary Chapel for church. While walking in, I saw the back of this woman. I looked and thought for a minute and said no way? I came over and sat down with her, her name is Karen. Talked a little then church started. After Pastor Bob's teaching. which was on End Times Too. Which was very good and eye opening for these times. Well after I asked Karen to have a coffee and just get caught up a little. We went to Dunkin Donuts. We sat their for about two hours and just had a nice time. While sitting there this guy was sitting next to us and he over heard us talking about Jesus Christ. Well he came over and he shared about his mission field and all God has done in his life.
This morning is Mother's Day. I am at McDonald's for my coffee and getting caught up on my blog and e mails. I am planning on going up north to Lake Worth and see another old friend. Then from there I am praying and hoping to go see my sister and her hubby. This is Betsy and Lenny. Betsy has not been doing that well and when I talked with her Thursday, she was not sure if she would be up to going out for Mother's Day or not. We will see and I hope we can see each other any way.
I will keep you all inform. I will be leaving on Wednesday morning. So please if I have not talked to you or seen you. Please feel free to call me. Last time I was in town I lost my phone and every one number. Then just before I came back over I told every one my phone number. The real sad part was I gave you all the wrong number. This is the CORRECT ONE 954- 655-2057. I have even wrote on my cards the wrong number. So please take note it is 954-655-2057 I wrote 3057. The old mind doesn't work right some times. Most times.

Hey look at what our Lord has given me for this week?

This is a mission class #2 Pastor Jym is the teacher

It was a nice dinner to say good by to Katy and Ryan.

You all know by now I love taking pictures of what happen around this island.

Hello all my freinds and family.

My pastor here, Alan Lee is in surgrey as I write. Please say a prayer or two. He is having a double by pass. My prayer is for the doctors to be used by God and that our Lord will heal him fast.

I really do enjoy when people come over here to see this place.

You can see below how people get some time off and make their way over here to the Bahamas. I am so happy to see this happen. Like the two pictures you see below. Ken and Trudy Kalen, came in yesterday an a cruse ship. The came from Fort Lauderdale,Fl, from there they went down to the other islands like St. Thomas and they told me of others, but I have slept since then. You know, I have forgotten.
Well this couple has been around Calvary Chapel for many years now. Ken was on staff at one part of his life. Now they are enjoying their fruit and labor they did for many years. They were telling me about their trips here and there and how our Lord has been so much part of them. Just like this trip alone. They plan on doing this a while back and the day after they left for it, Trudy mom got sick and Trudy was telling me how our Lord was so much there. How the other parts of the family was planning on going up north. Then they heard the Shuttle was cancelled. So they turn around and came home. Then they heard about their grandma getting sick and they were there for her. So Ken and Trudy could have cancelled their trip, but felt that our Lord was in the mist of it and had peace knowing their kids were there to do what ever was needed. Our Lord is so good to us. We sometimes we forget to say thank you. So please say a prayer or two for her mom, she is 92 years old. That alone is enough to say thank you Lord.

The next picture you see is a old friend too. Her name is Stephanie. While I was working at Calvary, many years ago. I knew Stephanie has the one to help out with anything to do with the Women Ministry. She was there for everything.
She has three beautiful children, they live up north now in South Carolina. She was telling me about her trip to this private island here in the Bahamas. Our time was short but really was good to see her again and just to say hello and get a big hug. Oh the reason why we only meet for a couple of minutes was, she had to caught another plane to get back to SC. She did tell me that our Lord has been taking great care of her and all that has gone on in her life. She is blessed because she has trusted the Lord and He has taken good care of her and her family. I am blessed to call her a friend and maybe down the road I will get up her way and see what else is going on.

This couple came in yesterday on a ship, for a day here.
