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. Â
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! 🙂
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!

NASA conducted a night space shuttle launch about a month ago and we saw it. . . from our back yard! We’re located only about 40 miles from Cape Kennedy space center.
Our amatuer photo is not that spectacular, but for about 20 seconds or so, the entire sky was completely lit up! Bright enough to read a newspaper. And it was kinda weird in the fact that we heard no sound from the rockets. Too far of a distance for the sound to travel.
It was quite an experience. We grabbed the kids out of bed to see it. They thought it was really neat.
Come visit us and maybe you can see a shuttle launch too.
 
These two crazy guys – Rhett and Link – were students at NC State when Shannon and I were on staff there. They were involved in Campus Crusade – eventually were co-emcees of the campus-wide student weekly meeting. Now they are on staff with Campus Crusade!
Just a couple of crazy guys doing a podcast. But if you know anything about Apex, North Carolina or heard about the chemical plant explosion there last month, this is really funny!
