Sarasota lecture site

It was a packed house today with 135 people including lots of visitors. Lots of participation and enthusiastic involvement. Mark S and his wife Renee were there. Lovely to see them.

Back to back lecture preps

The Ft Myers church property was donated by a Christian Science family who had purchased Henry Ford's home and lived there for years. They eventually sold the property to the city for a museum complex. Next door is Thomas Edison's house. They look like twins with big sweeping porches facing each other.
we left in the rain Friday and drove into the sunshine in Sarasota. I love it here. The downtown is really a hopping place. It would be a fun place to hang out if I ever had the time. Liz's sister Marge and her husband Peter wer at the prep along with a oractitioner from Port Charlotte and two guys from Ohio who had heard me lecture there. A man at the Ft Myers prep was from McHenry and remembered me. Florida is interesting like that. You can meet folks from so many other places.

I planned a dinner at the house after Asso for 10 people. This year I'm striving to have a more normal life. HavenLt had a big party in years. So invited Liz, Debby and her husband, Clare Jeffrey, Annie and her husband Bill and Sharon if she'll stay. it would be a great group. We've all worked together for years along with spouses, like extended family.

Also thinking today about the Christ consciousness and the saving healing impact of doing 125 talks last year. All those people, thousands really praying together, feeling the Christ power, being healed and praying for others. This is really quite a ministry and I'm humbly grateful to God to be in His service and inspire others to follow God.

A flower blossoming

My daughter-in-law is like a garden bursting into bloom. Had a great chat today where she told me how her classes at the local university are going. While participating in a volunteer activity she worked side by side with a supervisor at her current job. They collaborated as equals rather than supervisor-peon. It was life-affirming for Star. Then another person approached her unexpectedly at work and talked about the possibilities of Star working in the office. Professionals are beginning to see Star's qualities mature, develop and see them as valuable to their organization. Star is seeing herself differently. She's helping others network and come together for mutual benefit and profit. God is at work here and the blessings will be far reaching. As Star said, she's come far in just a month. She feels different and sees herself in a new light. Let's see what next month has in store! There is an entire garden full of good in God's creation called Star.

After romantic dinner in Punta Gorda

Here we are in Ft Myers. Dave is spent after driving and I'm figuring out mobile blogging from my phone. Love this 21st century!

Dave at our 26th anniversary

26th Anniversary

I really want to find time to post to this diary site but things get so busy...
What a fun and typical anniversary! We got up at 5am, Dave earlier. I had a great chorizo and egg breakfast at the airport and we took off on Southwest by 7am. On the last possible day I qualified for the A-List. Hallelujah! Spent 2 hours in the Albuquerque airport working and took off for Orlando. The stewardess in the back asked if we were going to the Super Bowl. I told her what I was doing. She instantly reacted with a bless the Lord. So I gave her a card. Instantly she asked me to give a card to her coworker, which I did. The coworker said when we disembarked that she would definitely check out my website. I've got to get more cards. This is an opportunity that God is presenting to me that I need to pay attention to and think about daily.

Dollar once again didn't accept Dave as a free second driver. This is becoming tiresome. But we were quickly on the road and beating the rush hour traffic to Ft Myers. Dave drove. I prayed (not for his driving). We had a romantic dinner in Punta Gorda (did I lecture here last year?) at the Fisherman's Village with a view of the water. Split a dozen plump tasty oysters some of the best we've had. Then scallops, sweet coleslaw and tasty fries. Ah what a treat. Arrived at the LaQuinta around 8pm. I've been working since arrival and it's now 10:30 and time for bed. It was a lovely day, and Dave gave me the greatest card. He's such a love. He's already in bed asleep, which I should be soon. A marriage made in heaven, literally. We gave gratitude today again for God bringing us together.
