Hey I took a ride south to get see my dentist. Say three weeks ago?


Driving back I thought, why not stop and see the NEW STADIUM?? 
Which I did, mean while a police offer was sitting in her patrol car next to the entrance. I stopped to talk with her about what is this stadium about? She explained it was the new Fort Lauderdale Soccer. I asked if they were still the Strikers? She told me no, she was not sure of th name of the team, now. So I just looked it up and they are called the Fort Lauderdale Club de Futbol.  Commonly known as the Fort Lauderdale CF. What a beautiful stadium. 



I guess Nations Auto has something to do with it. 
Hey for many years ago, they were called the Fort Lauderdale Strikers and the stadium name was Lockhart. Hey back then our church Calvary Chapel FTL. was use to rent this stadium out for Easter Services. This place would be full and some great memories. 


The officer told me that this is the main office and training area. Thinking this area use to be where the New York Yankees would have spring training . Then a while went by then Baltimore came in and it was called Baltimore Orioles, spring training stadium. Hey even here we did Easter Services. Plus Greg Laurie had a open service here too. Say 2002??? 


Looking at the soccer fields, Wow it really brought back many memories and just good times I would go see the Yankees and Orioles. 


While here I stopped in at Calvary Chapel. 








Okay I got to Calvary and walked in and this place is some what locked down. The reason is school is in session. It was still nice to se some folks. The front office, there was a few people I knew. Then walked into the restaurant an I saw no one I knew at all. Oh well people more on and I have moved on too. Maybe down the road Jeanne and I can take another trip down and send a night or two in Fort Lauderdale. Would really like to go to service too. then. 


Okay heading home. Crazy, traffic was back up for may miles. Not sure why? The reason I say that is, I got up the road and everything opened up. 
I am so happy to be back home and I praise Him for my trip. It was some what relaxing. Plus I got my teeth cleaned and I saw a few people.
