Highland,

After such a restful family vacation, we are thrilled to be back with you this Sunday. Our family just got back from Orlando, enjoying some fun in the sun! We stay at a resort that’s teeming with amenities, allowing us to get outside and play all day without even having to get into a car.

We also snorkeled at Discovery Cove, which is an unforgettable experience! It’s a park that is a branch of the Sea World Park System. They allow you to experience marine life in an up close and personal way. I actually came face-to-face with a stingray this year! To say the least, I was caught off guard and screamed through my snorkel. Pretty sure the stingray was startled and screamed, too.

We also, thanks to my brother and his wife, got to enjoy Aquatica! It's a water park that belongs to Sea World. They boast of having the tallest waterslide in Orlando – Breakaway Falls! Scared as we were (yes, I am man enough to admit it), we all torpedoed down the eight-story-tall slide! Living to tell the tale was the talk of the trip.

Our family also really enjoys watching the College Baseball Playoffs and World Series during this trip. Each year, we gather around the TV and enjoy taking in some of the hottest baseball action one could ever watch! There’s tons of snack foods and sodas to go along with the action, too! This is a part of our trip that we all savor and enjoy – especially the junk food!

If you have not had the chance to listen to last week’s message, do so! Carol’s testimony, along with David’s message and Kimberly’s testimony is simply dynamic and real! They offer such a panoramic view of what Scripture says about spiritual warfare, yet also offer us a view from the step-by-step action through Kimberly’s testimony. What you will hear is how to employ Biblical strategy to spiritual warfare, yet, also, engage matters with Biblical tactics that help us on the battlefield. Carol, David, Kimberly – thank you! Y’all – check it out!

As I have been away, I am a little late getting out the update this week (computers and pools do not go together well). Even still, I just wanted to reach out to you, because I love you, Highland. Tomorrow is Father’s Day. We will tailor our Spiritual Warfare series to address the men in the room. I look forward to seeing you, Highland! You are so important to me, to my family – you are part of our family!

We love you.

Grateful for you,

Rob
