Isn’t it a little unusual support of a political candidate to border this closely on worship?

“I would like to see us in a world without fear”

“All the voters ‘cross America, Obama be thy name. Thy change shall come, Thy will be done, as it is in America”

“This is the church you can’t see….This is my American Prayer”

This place reminds me of the Outer Banks, except tropical. Itls the middle of October and in the high 80s. There are palm trees everywhere.
I’m having lunch at the Dog House Grill. They have a deep-fried, bacon-wrapped chili cheese dog on the menu. I’m the only person here the waitresses don’t know by name. We just sang Happy Birthday to an 77 year old man.

Yesterday I was in Las Vegas. Today I’m in Fort Lauderdale, FL. It was a good move. Let me tell you why Florida is better than Vegas.

1. The ocean.
2. Beaches, actual beaches, not wavepool nonsense.
3. No sandstorms. When I left Vegas it was about 60 degrees with a 15 mph wind. Absolutely freezing.
4. Nobody in Ft. Lauderdale hands you fliers advertising prostitutes.
5. Beaches.
6. Bicycles.
7. Florida is cheaper.
8. Um, some dude just handed me his dog.
9. Grits.
10. Not in the middle of the desert.
11. Beaches
12. No jean shorts. Why is every guy in Las Vegas wearing jean shorts?
13. Don’t have to take an escalator to cross
14. Non-smoking sections
15. Salt Air
16. And the ocean

I’ve been traveling a lot lately. I’ve been in California for the past two weeks and have one more to go. It seems like forever since I’ve been to church at Frontline so I made a point to get there online tonight. Since attendance online requires good, reliable bandwidth, I wanted to make sure I had some options. Therefore I’m in Las Vegas at the moment. The Henderson, NV Panera was a great place for me to log on, worship with Stephanie Cuomo and the band, hear Todd Phillips preach another truth-filled, no-appologies message, and chat with other Frontliners who couldn’t get there in person.
And now I’m at Mandalay Bay. I come through Vegas a lot for work, but don’t usually stay more than a few hours. This is one of the hotels I’ve never been to. I just got here so I haven’t seen much, but I’m impressed so far. Off to see the shark tanks now.
