I made a trip home to Illinois last month. My baggage from the airplane didn’t, kind of like the way the Dallas Cowboys never seem to make the Super Bowl anymore.
But that’s a column for another day.

For God’s Sake: Object of our desire will be Christ
I am crazy about aircraft of all kinds but get particularly excited over military aircraft.
Living in Navarre nestled among the many military bases and airfields, I’m three-for-three in the real estate maxim, location-location-location.

July is here and as I’m writing this – the fourth is tomorrow.
By the time you receive this, July 4, 2023, will be a two-day-old memory. However, I have some trivia for you to use next year. These are referenced from a “Good Housekeeping” article, but double checked with personal comments by yours truly.

Praying for the Titan families
On 21 June, at 3 p.m., my prayer pal and I were compelled to pray for the Titan to be found. Why?
Because we know that God is omniscient. He performs miracles daily! This time we prayed for an unusual miracle in light of the two recent ones, i.e., the four children found in the jungle after 40 days and the scary one of the two men sucked through the drain under the ground emerging alive on the other side.

Commissioners should approve Jubilee
It’s the most resilient project ever in Santa Rosa County and it has been in the making for 20 years.
If you ask yourself why the developers of Jubilee don’t give up it is because it is a project that could change the economic landscape of Pace and it a property they have invested in for 20 years.

For God’s Sake: Trust in Him
These days, there seems to be a credulity gap between what people say and what they do.
The credulity gap to which I am referring is when a person or an institution champions an ideal but acts in a manner contrary to it. The technical term for this credulity gap is “an issue of plausibility.”

I really could have written this column with one emoji. You know the one where the person has the hand slapping the face.
That really would have covered all you need to know about the district set up for cross-country for the teams in this area.

Our editorial this week should be an eye-opener for anyone with children or anyone who cares about children in our school district.
Another issue that has been bubbling up is the Holley-Navarre Water System’s 2019-2020 policy which looks at commercial properties, what the property originally paid in tap fees, and what their current usage is, only to ask for impact fees –after the fact.

Disturbing books in our school libraries
Who knew at some point in time we would be discussing sexually explicit books allowed in our school libraries? And yet, here we are.
At last week’s county commission meeting, citizens showed up (and some showed out) to proclaim their disgust at the books being allowed in the libraries across our school system.

For God’s Sake: Final destination is sure
I don’t fly as much as I did earlier in ministry when I traveled to speak at various conferences. My most recent flying experience has not made me eager to fly more.
I was traveling to the Evangelical Free Church of America’s biennial conference at Fullerton E-Free Church where well-known pastor Chuck Swindoll ministered for several decades.
