SE Pastors Conference

Great conference. It was good seeing old friends. We had dinner, Thai food, with Pastor Lucho Garcia of Lima, Peru, a long time friend. Janet and I were both on a missions trip when Lucho first started Calvary Chapel Gracia, in Lima. Lucho told us we were the first ones to come there. It was a great trip.

I appreciated Bob Coy's words. Rarely do I hear a sermon from him that I don't walk away wanting to be closer to the Lord.

I had a short but sweet conversation with Jeff James, the worship leader from Calvary Chapel Tallahasee. They're in a new building.

The Lord is doing much work through so many.

We were blessed to have our good friends Andy and Gen Falleur from Calvary Ottowa share at our church in Kendall. They stayed with us for a couple days. God's going to to do great things in Canada and Andy and Gen are going to be right in the middle of it!

God, continue to glorify your name!

Happy Birthday Abuela Mima!

Last Tuesday, we celebrated the 84th birthday of Genesis and Caleb's great-grandmother. Before we ate, we all stood in a circle and wished Abuela something for her birthday. I wished her a closer and closer walk with the Lord. Others in our family wished her similar blessings. She really received it and desired these spiritual things in her life. What an inspiration! She didn't desire a million dollars, a chance to be the next American Idol, or a DVD set of the latest novela.

Life on earth is finite. We all will age. And one day we will die. Let's store up for ourselves treasures in heaven as we look forward to getting our new bodies and live forever in that perfect place.....

Happy New Year

What a great year 2006 was for us! The highlight, I think, was moving back into our house.

We are excited about 2007. I think January is my favorite month of the year: NFL playoffs, the Calvary Chapel Southeast Pastor's Conference, season premiere of 24.

At Calvary Chapel this year, we are looking forward to starting our fourth weekend service: a Saturday night 6:00pm service. Personally, I look forward to watching the Lord continue to develop the worship ministry and really multiply our small group ministry. It's all about discipleship.

2007 also marks the kickoff of 1360 AM, south Florida's Christian talk station. I listened to it a bit today and heard my friend Edward Abraham, pastor of CC Doral on air!

Lord, may You be glorified in south Florida like never before!
