Wow, the past four days have been quite eventful!  The Chey-guy’s house
burned down on Thursday…of course that would be enough in itself to
make the last four days crazy!  On Friday night the ladies had their ‘Chick
Flick’.  Saturday after a morning counseling session, I crashed and finally
awoke to make my last preparations for Sunday morning.  Then of course
there was Sunday’s service.  God is certainly up to something HUGE, as
Fuccillo can only describe it!!! On to top things off I am teaching the
morning Bible class this week at the King’s School, of which I am
thoroughly enjoying.  Stay tuned for further updates.

Blessed is the individual who remains steadfast under trial, for when
he/she has stood the test he/she will receive the crown of life, which
God has promised to those who love Him.     James 1:12

I’m sitting in Charlotte, North Carolina waiting on my connecting flight to
Albany!  Yes I am very excited…if you couldn't tell.  The conference in
Myrtle Beach went well, and more importantly my five days of
conferencing has finally come to an end.  I am excited about coming home
and staying there for a while.

And just in case you are still wondering…change is coming – so instead of
running from it, let’s chase it and refuse to let go!!!

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not
see.     Hebrews 11:1

Yes, I am still alive!  The leadership summit in NYC went very well.  
Service yesterday morning was one of the most exciting services I have
been a part of ever; and last night’s leadership meeting was extremely
productive…we see change, we are pursuing change and we will embrace
change!!!  I am now sitting in my hotel room overlooking the ocean in
Myrtle Beach, SC.  It’s a tough life, but someone has to live it.

The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and
suffer for it.     Proverbs 27:12

I believe I am over the virus that found me late Saturday night, thank
GOD!!!  I am now readying myself for a jam packed six days.  First, I go to
NYC - today, tonight & tomorrow to instruct other Pastors concerning
Media Ministries.  Sunday holds two services; the morning obviously (in
which thousands will attend while hundreds are saved), and there is also
Sunday night (in which the leadership will be sharpened to that of a
razor).  And finally, I fly out Monday morning to Myrtle Beach for a church
conference related to my role as a State Youth Board Member.  Don’t
worry, I will be returning on Wednesday evening.  And NO, I will not be
tanning on the beach – trust me, I burn more than I tan!!!  So that is the
run down.  Pray for me and I’ll pray for you!!!

One who is full loathes honey, but to one who is hungry everything bitter is
sweet.      Proverbs 27:7

Go and vote today!  If you need any guidance, consider voting for the
candidate whose last name begins with M (his running mate’s last name
begins with P).  I trust these helpful hints will be ‘helpful’!!!
















Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may
bring.     Proverbs 27:1

November has arrived!  I have no idea where October went, but I see
Thanksgiving and Christmas approaching rapidly.  And did I mention the
days have now been shortened due to
a new season and the turning of our
clocks.  It seems as though time has become a rare commodity.  Well,
enough of my ranting; I feel like some pundit on Fox News Channel!

Today was a miraculous day!  I thought on multiple occasions throughout
the morning to call in sick.  I must have picked up some virus late
Saturday and by the time Sunday morning arrived I was sick!  But because
of my stubborn nature, I pressed on to church.  God moved in a mighty
way by suppressing my “sickness” and proceeding with HIS plan.  God is
faithful, I know that full well!!!  The kids and I had a wonderful meal with
some wonderful friends as Heather (with Preston of course) had a lunch
meeting with Women’s leadership team.  After eating, I came home and
retired for the day on the couch…I was due for some much needed rest.

But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called ‘today,’ that none
of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.     Hebrews 3:13
