Full Page Super Bowl Ad

Posted on

If you happen to see a copy of this weekend’s edition of USA Today, look for this full-page advertisement that was published by Athletes In Action – the sports ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ:

Beyond the Ultimate
The ad features both head coaches and points readers to a special Web site, www.BeyondTheUltimate.org. The Web site features articles and streaming video from players and coaches who share their stories and talk about their faith in Jesus Christ. Additional articles and a clear presentation of the gospel create multiple opportunities for site visitors to learn how they can begin a relationship with God and receive God’s love and forgiveness.

Bike Commute

The Lord chose a perfect location for us! I’m certain this is the easiest commute to work I’ll ever have.

Winter Yard Work?

Posted on

David & Toby mowing in December!
Does this look like something you’d do in December or January?  . . . Only in Florida!  The grass grows pretty much year-round here.  Afternoon temperatures have been averaging in the uppper 70’s for most of the “winter” so far.  

Toby loves the lawn mower.  This photo is not staged.  He would mow the grass all by himself if he could.  Hopefully this trend will continue well throughout his teen years!  🙂

Good New Year Reminder

Posted on

This year I need to spend more time putting into practice what I’ve known in theory for quite a while: the practice of completely depending on God all day long for everything.

Galations 5 (and other Scripture) makes it clear that things of eternal value are accomplished only by the Holy Spirit through faith. History confirms this as well. Dr. Bill Bright is just one example. Before he passed away in 2003, Bill expressed again and again that this was probably the most essential lesson he had ever learned. Check out this interview with Bill Bright conducted only a few short weeks before he died.

The entire interview is very interesting. But, if you read nothing else, be sure to scroll down to the parts entitled “Confession and Spiritual Breathing” and “Holy Spirit Empowerment.”

How essential it is to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit as opposed to merely walking in the limited and corrupted abilities of our flesh!
