Well another Black Friday has gone by.


Yesterday was a day to just see what is going on. As Greg and I were out looking for a washer for Bonita. Well it was fun just to see theses people standing in line and Greg and I just walked by and went back home. 


We had a chance last night to go see a movie. It was the Hungry Games part #3. It really was a pretty good movie. It kept me on the edge of my seat. But the sad part is PART #4 is coming now.

 The reason is how can this be LOW calorie, then the sign under it said, 0 Zero Calorie. 

I really hope and pray everyone is having a wonderful Thanksgiving week-end. I woke up this morning and it was 43 degrees. Now that is like 34. I stayed in bed until 7 and now at McDonald's

I got this from Harri. Thank you sir, Happy Thanksgiving to you and all your family.


One Minute With GOD

My name is God.
 
You hardly have time for me.
 
I  love you and will always  bless you.
 
I am always with you.
 
I need you to spend 60 secs. of  your  time with Me today.
 
Don't pray, just praise.
 
Today I want this  message to go across the world before midnight.  Will you help?
 
Please drop everything & pass it on.
Why are prayers getting smaller, but bars and clubs are expanding?
Why is it so easy to worship a celebrity, but very difficult to engage with God?
 
Think about it, are you going to forward this or are you going to ignore it because you think you will get laughed at?
 
Forward this to all your friends. 80% of you won't.
 
God said if you deny  me in front of your friends, I will deny you on the day of judgment.

When one door closes, God opens two.
 
If God has opened doors for you,  send this message to everyone...

God does not have a smart phone or ipad but he's my favorite contact.

He is not on FACEBOOK but he is my best friend.

He is not on TWITTER but I still follow Him, and even without the INTERNET I am always connected to him.

He is not on Gmail but he's always online.
 
Forward if God's been good to you!

God has been very good to me, He has given me a wonderful family, great friends and so much more!

It looks like some one is having Thanksgiving early?



That right our custodial team planned out a nice Thanksgiving dinner. This happen on Sunday afternoon. So as we sat around these tables, had a nice time to talk. The food was great too. Then back to work, boy I wanted to go take a nap. But not yet, still have some more work to get done.





This project started around 2:30 pm on Sunday. I am not sure what their plans are, but it sure looks like a big job. I do know they are taking the wall paper off the walls. So the east side of the sanctuary is closed until Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. Prayerfully they will have this side done before service time on Wednesday night. 


This is Lizzy. Yesterday Joshua and I had a chance to go clean the water dishes out and replace it. Lizzy is very friendly and even kinda cute. 


Now this is Stretch, He wouldn't hurt a fly, MAYBE A FLY? That is what he eats.

Now that is a pretty Christmas Tree.


This tree is in the Out Reach area. Not sure who made this up, but it really was done right. 


Well yesterday was a fun day at Calvary. Scott and I had a chance to work together on moving some chairs around. On Tuesday, coming there will be a Memorial in this room. They are looking at about 400 people to be attending. Then during the after noon that same day, We will be having around 800 people in the Sanctuary for another memorial  there. I can tell you this. It reminded me of back in 2001 how we use to break this room down each Sunday morning for over flow. What I am talking about the sanctuary would be standing room only(3280+) so every room we had that would sit around 300 people or more, we used just for the 10:15 service. Plus back then we had to set up both side. So we could sit around 400+





So at the end of the day on Tuesday, maybe even Wednesday. This room goes back to tables and chairs. 


Last night after work I had a chance to spend a little more time with Kathy and Deb. They will be getting on a ship this afternoon around 1 pm. It really was nice to just hang out a little and find out more about the family and how things are going.

Family is down this way.


These two are part of my family. Deb and her mom Kathy.  They live up in Buffalo, N.Y. Which everyone has heard of since this last week of snow storm. They are here for two days and then getting on a ship and going over to see the Bahamas. I really wish I could be there too. The reason I say that is, I love showing that place off. You know like taking them to Jaws Beach, Adventure Learning Centre and so on. 


This is their renal car, it really is a nice one. It has everything in it accept a out side temp gauge. I guess both of their cars up north have that thing in theirs? 


They will be staying at the Beach Comber. For the price it really was a nice place. 



This is my sister asking me, why is it raining???? Is it Florida known about sunshine? Hopefully today they will get some sun. as I look out my window right now, the sun is shining beautifully. There are some clouds but it looks like it will be a great day for them. I will be on my way to work in about 40 minutes. 


I am hoping to see them again tonight. Maybe we will do a movie together? 


These student are part of the Cheer Leaders. This is at Calvary Chapel. Every Saturday night after the service they set up thing for the children and family to do together. I didn't stay last night, I have been under the weather a little. Just need some rest and will be back. Oh as you look there is a bubble machine blowing out million bubbles at a time. It really looks kind of neat. the camera really doesn't get it.

This is so neat to see what Mr Tim and folks are making over in the Bahamas.


This a spool for the electric cords after the Christmas Drive Thur is over with. The reason Tim sent these pictures. he saw on my blog about bins I bought to ship over to ALC last week. Those I guess are for the strings of lights he bought. 


I guess this is one of the sense's for the back area. 


Another spool. I see there are only two buses in the lot. That means they have been getting a lot of children to bring into the Centre. I talked to Mark this last week, he was telling me that they had over 600 students come thru last week. That is why they do what they do, Want to share with the whole island about Jesus Christ. I miss that place very much, but I have another life now. 


This is Walter ad Sandra. They are down for a 10 day stay. They came in on Tuesday, kind of late. The reason was, their flight was delayed because of snow.They are form Canada.  So on Tuesday we did meet at all, just talked on the phone a little. Then yesterday we meet at the place they were staying at. Double Tree, in Deerfield Beach. We had a lovely breakfast and got some what caught up.
I know Walter form the ALC summer program we have each year. They were on their way to get on a ship around 1 pm yesterday. I hope to See them when they get back on next week. 


Okay this is only half of our staff at Calvary. I could only get one shot. I didn't want them to feel uneasy. 


We did praise and worship. 


Then Pastor Doug gave a story about this young couple and how they will be moving that afternoon to North Carolina. 
After that Pastor Doug shared on what God has put on his heart these last couple of months. We as a staff are to make disciple and move on. This is what he explained about his trip to Africa. he walked away form there and really felt God talking to him about our vision and what it looks like. 
I am very blessed to call this place my new home and I have some rough days, but most are wonderful ones. Like this morning I get to be part of a men's study at Calvary.

As folks up north are getting hit with snow and more snow.


I had a chance to help out my family back in the Bahamas. ALC is doing the Christmas Drive Thur this December. So Mark has gone out and ordered many more lights and things to use for that. Well the first plan was that the lights would come here. Then I would be able to take them to the shipping company we work with. But as it all worked out, they shipped them directly to the Bahamas. So now they have all these lights and stuff. Mark asked me to go buy some plastic bins to story them after the shows are done. So they will be on there way to the Bahamas by this next week..



Okay I would like to buy some tools. Now I know the best thing is to buy the DeWalt. But as you all know, I will only use these tools for personal use. You know helping some one else out. So now, do I spend $149.99 and get the basic set up? Or spend the $259.00 and get a couple of more toys. Thinking I only need the first one, for now. Maybe if I start doing more, I will go out and bu the rest, one piece at a time? 


Now is that a not a pretty bike? Not for me, but a young lady that would like to go for rides and doesn't have one.



I know this is dating my age. But wow this is a AMX. I remember theses, many years ago. My dad us to sell American Motors cars. This car was sitting in the Walmart parking lot. If you look closely it needs some work, but still looking good to me. 



Okay last night Larry and I went tot he movies. Saving Christmas. The story line was very correct on what Christmas stands for. But it some what boring. Now if you didn't know where Santa or the Christmas tree itself came from? You might walk away and say I didn't know all that?  


Okay I am sorry to hear about Buffalo New York. As I was going to bed last night they were saying, they will be getting around 70" of snow last night. Hey I use to live in Rochester, NY. We got the lake effect snow there too. Well I got up and looked out my window and said Thank you Jesus for where I live, 58 is the temp and a little rain outside. We all have a calling on our lives, Mine is living here in Florida. 
I did go out yesterday and bought two (2) long shelve shirts. Then one sweat shirt too. The total was $12.47. I went to the Good Will on 441. Hey it was 50% off on all yellow tags. Guess what tags I bought? 


So ad least I have tops. Now I will need to go buy paints one day too. 


Jeanne saw this place and had to stop.

This restaurant in on Rt. 60 heading from 95 to downtown Vero Beach. Autumn's Crab .  Walked in and sat down. Really kind of quiet for b...
