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.

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.

What is Easter Monday Fun Day is all about.
During these days it is so nice to know and see how the Bahamian people look forward to this day off. So for the many years ALC has been here, we have always had a Fun day set aside to bring glory and honor to our Lord Jesus Christ, this special day. Now we always praise Him during our time here at ALC. But today is a day to show the Bahamian people what we are all about and why we do what we do.
There are four Fun Days set aside to show this place off. The reason is during the week we bring in students from the schools here and spend time showing them about nature and God's creation and His love for each and every one of us. But during those weeks we really don't cover our cost to run this place. So Randy Grebe and his wife started having these Fun Days just to raise some more funds and really let the people know why and what we do here.
I am so happy to see my friends and family come out here to help us and just show Christ's love through what we do and greet our neighbors too.
The rain pretty much stayed away most of the day. A little spriy here and there, but no real trouble to talk about. So around 6:45pm we were cleaning up and putting away all the tings we used to have a good day. During that time the rain came down and cooled us off. We did get the place back in order for this week ahead and I praise our Lord for all the help to make it happen.

Hello again, Update.
Just to let you all know I have changed my profile picture. Yes I was asked a couple of days ago, why keep that old picture there. Get a updated one, thanks Harri. So Saturday night after the dinner we had with the singles. I took a couple of self portrait of myself and hope it looks good enough for all of you out there?
I have been asked many times, why am I not in the pictures? Well just think about it a second or so, I am the one taking them?
The rain has stopped and I am praising our Lord. Blue sky and looking great out there. Now need to get over to ALC and start getting tings up and ready for our PARTY.
