The Lakeland Chapter has begun the new year as busy as ever. In January, we sponsored a Men’s Retreat at Blue Springs conference center in North Florida , which included members from several other Chapters.  I think we had about 115 men come in from various locations and it was a great time of fellowship and worship.

Terry Bryant, the featured speaker, brought inspired insight into living a life on the "Highway of Holiness" and how God actually uses those difficult times in our lives to discipline us as a Father who loves His children.

On Saturday, we visited the National Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola.  Due to the torrential rain and colder air (perfect conditions for icing) that day, the Lord blessed us with provision by supplying us with a bus from the Memphis Chapter's church.  Thanks, Rodger!!!

The next day, we woke up to 22 degree temperatures and ice on the bikes...BRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I thought this was Florida...
