Orlando Trip: Day 3

Thursday's weather was quite nice.  I think the high was about 63.  This is a picture of a John Deere gator.  The base price is $43,000, but when you add GPS and auto-steer like this machine has, it's a mere $55,000.  Very affordable 😉  That's over 3.5 times what we paid for our car.  😕  This one will "paint lines" using the GPS receiver (the yellow dome on top), and then you can follow that "painted" line using Auto-Track.  It's pretty cool.  Farmers use them for spot-sprayer and fertilizing.

 My workout that day consisted of a simple mobility session in the morning.  

After the epic Your Pie-failure, I decided to go for a sure winner.  When Sandra and I were in Orlando last year for the same training, we found a Greek place called Little Greek.  Below is their 3-skewer dinner plate - grilled chicken, yellow rice, Greek salad, Tzatziki sauce, potato salad, beets and a pita.

This is worth a trip to Orlando!! Delicious, and relatively good for you, considering many other options.

My verse for this day was,

"Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers: And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy ... ."  Romans 15:8, 9

I love these verses.  In context, the "circumcision" is referencing the Jewish nation.  God gave Abraham the "seal" or "sign" of circumcision as a token for the faith that Abraham had toward God (Ge. 15-17, Ro. 4).  Jesus was a minister of God's promises in that He fulfilled the promise of a Messiah Who would come down from heaven, suffer for the sins of mankind, and rise from the dead.  God the Father promised the Jews a Messiah Who will expiate the sins of all who look to Him in faith.  Jesus Christ was and is the fulfillment of that divine promise.

God also promised that "in Abraham" all the families of the earth would be blessed.  Through Abraham's lineage came Jesus the Messiah Who offers salvation to all who are willing to place repentant faith in Him.  By following Abraham's example of simple faith in the promises of God, anyone, Jew and non-Jew, may find eternal redemption.  Truly, through Abraham, all the families of earth have been blessed, even though not all have or will take advantage of that blessing.

Praise God for offering salvation to everyone, both Jew and non-Jew!  Praise God for His sinless Minister of the Circumcision!
