Busch Gardens in Tampa

Mike and Sus had an opportunity to go to Busch Gardens for a day. We wanted to see their Christmas shows and their decorations. We were not disappointed. We enjoyed a very good Gospel-style Christmas concert and a great ice skating show. Both shows were very well done. For dinner we also recommend the Zambia Smokehouse in Stanleyville. We were able to share a meal because of the portion sizes and the food was delicious! At the end of the day, the lighting was fantastic… a photographer’s delight! We were really pleased with our photos and have posted several animal … Continue reading Busch Gardens in Tampa

EXPLO 72

I remember seeing a LIFE magazine on my parents’ coffee table in June of 1972. I was intrigued by the cover photo, but never got around to reading the article. I received Christ shortly after that, on February 19, 1973, and got involved with Campus Crusade for Christ as a student, not knowing Crusade had sponsored EXPLO 72. I finally read the article today, after more than thirty years of being on the staff of Campus Crusade for Christ! Google Books has LIFE magazines.

Out here? … Continue reading The Fumble

Josh made it into the UF Gators football ticket lottery this year and has been enjoying going to all the home games. He wanted to treat Mike to a game and was finally able to get two tickets for this last Saturday as a belated Father’s Day gift. Mike was pretty excited!

24 Hours

I had planned a day and a half to clean the house for weekend company. My sovereign Lord had other plans for me! Yesterday afternoon, Guillermo, an electrician, came by to work on our A/C. I could not identify his rich accent. “I am Colombian… Colombian coffee,” he replied to my question. We talked more and I gave him a tract on the Spirit-filled life in Spanish. This morning, Marco came to do an annual pest treatment on our home. We have talked many times over the years about spiritual things. Today, he opened up about the physical abuse he … Continue reading 24 Hours
