https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11BtcP8DmbU&t=22s So good morning. I thought I heard someone's voice that usually doesn't come in person, I was excited, but amen. Oh, you're here, Lou. Amen. So my name is Joshua Mayes and I lead the singles ministry here alongside some great brothers and sisters and another area that I serve in is on our [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=747ynaUyPOk&t=2s Hey, good morning and welcome to our Sunday service. My name is Monte Strickland. I serve as one of the elders here in our Broward County region of our church. And I'm glad you're worshipping with us this Sunday. It's good to be back in the building. And as enticing as it is, it's [...]
These last couple of weeks have been a bit unsettling. It's times like these that really test your faith. The only events I can compare it to are 9/11 and an impending Cat5 hurricane forecast. I've seen desparate people do crazy things, and that scares me. There's no shortage of news or opinions from everyone. [...]
It's been an interesting week... I don't have much experience with infectious diseases, but it does feel like the fear does not equal the panic. Though I'm a big believer in "better safe than sorry", some of what I've witnessed seems like people are going insane, and it appears that those that are the least [...]
As we begin a new series on Exodus, I'm reminded of my Hebrew heritage. Oddly, I wasn't even aware of the Israelite ancestry for the 1st decade of my life. When it was commanded by my grandparents that I must have a Bar Mitzvah, everything changed. All of a sudden, I was quite different from [...]
This week we only have 1 service at 9am because this is our annual Walk 4KIDS event. The 3 mile course meanders through the Davie neighborhood around the Broward Church, ending in a potluck picnic. The Walk benefits the 4KIDS local charity that supports the initiative to find forever homes for foster children in the [...]
When I lived in San Diego and started my fashion magazine, we needed a lot of help with the project. A few of my partner Ray's friends from NJ came out to assist us for a couple of months and we met a talented young man named Carlos Ramos in our travels. Carlos, a musician [...]
I've previously shared about a on again, off again 6 year relationship I had when I was a teenager in New Jersey. I met Lisa at a private beach that both of our families attended. We were both very young but it seemed like love at first sight. I carved our names into a picnic [...]
We had our annual community garage sale this weekend. Usually I would be the one treasure hunting and getting up early and going to as many as possible. I'd look for fishing items, sports memorabilia, or just something old and unusual. I've found art signed by Peter Max and Brito for less than $5. I've [...]
Today is SUPER BOWL Sunday, which started in 1967 when I was 5 years old. I don't remember much about the first 15 or so because I wanted to play more than watch. Some stand out. I do remember living in the NY/NJ area and it being a very big deal that Joe Namath guaranteed [...]
