Watching the Bucs game from the luxury suite

At an FCA banquet in September, the Snellings/Cucchi's/Norwood's won an auction for a luxury suite @ Raymond James to watch the Bucs-Saints game on 10/17/2010. We invited a bunch of the leaders and coaches from FCA as well as Pastor Mike and his son, and Shawn & Tiffany Muneio. Below are some pics from the game. Oh yeah...the Bucs lost that game...badly...but even losing was fun in the suite! We also met a new friend at the game - Eileen!

Costa Rica Missions Trip - 2010 Edition

On October 2nd - 10th, 2010 Tammy and I went on a missions trip with our Bible Fellowship group at Idlewild to Tarcoles, Costa Rica. This is the third trip that our Bible Fellowship group has taken to Tarcoles, working in conjunction with Pastor Jamie.

This year's trip combined some service work (painting the roof of a local school), evangelism (door-to-door, on the beach with the fishermen, and at various church services and events), and some good fun (soccer, baptisms in the Tarcoles River, touring the Tarcoles River). We had a great time building friendships, with both the locals in Tarcoles as well as within our own team from Idlewild.

Below is a photo album from the trip:

Matthew 28:19 - 20:
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Bekah catches the big bass - AGAIN!

While Tammy and I were in Costa Rica on the missions trip (see my next post), Bekah and Caroline spent some time at Grammy and Pappy's house (Justin's parents). Fishing is a required activity when hanging out at the grandparents' place, and Bekah did just that!

This time, Bekah hauled in the biggest bass in the pond - for the second time! (see post on April 10, 2009 when she caught it the first time). Bekah is the only one who has ever successfully brought this fish on shore...and he has grown quite a bit since the last time she caught him!!!!

This catch landed Bekah's picture at the worm store around the corner and landed her in the Sarasota Herald newspaper!
