10 Years!

Bob FranquizUncategorized

On this day in 1997, I said my vows before God and man to the greatest woman on earth. Next to following Jesus, marrying Carey is the best decision I have ever made. (How I talked her into it, I still haven’t figured out) Carey and I both come from divorced families, so the fact that we have not only survived marriage but love each other deeply is a testament to God’s grace. It has been the 10 best years of my life. I’m looking forward to the next 10!

5 Days into it…

Bob FranquizUncategorized

Mia is 5 days old, and I’ve had so many thoughts going through my mind. Here’s a couple of thoughts on being a dad, now that I’m 5 days into it… – My love has multiplied. I am madly in love with my wife and I wondered if I could love anyone else that much. I’ve learned that I can. There’s something funny about love. The more you love, the more love grows. It doesn’t run out. It multiplies. Love is a lot like Gremlins (the creature, not the car) in that way. Feed love, and love just keeps growing… … Read More

I just posted a few pictures of Mia on her first day in a photo album. It’s on the left hand column all the way down. Enjoy! All is well. Mommy and Mia are sleeping (for now)…

“There were 3 in the family…and that’s the magic number.” – Schoolhouse Rock Mia Grace Franquiz Born at 5:43PM on January 30th, 2007 Weight: 7 pounds 14 ounces Length: 20 inches As far as I’m concerned, the most beautiful girl in the world! Mommy and baby are doing great! Daddy is good too. I cried like never before when I saw for the first time. It didn’t stop for a good hour… spontaneous, hysterical tears over God’s love for me and my love for this little girl. I held in my hands the fulfillment of so many prayers. So many … Read More

A question for the Mac guys in the house: Do any of you use Accordance Bible software. I’ve leaning towards making a purchase, but I’d like to hear your thoughts on it. Pros/ Cons? What package do you have? Do you recommend it? Any thoughts on the subject would be really helpful. Gracias…

I don’t want to talk about it!

They lost the game with 1 minute to go! I just can’t believe it. I was driving home from church Sunday night , checked my Treo and the score was 21-6. By the time I got home, the score was tied. UUUUGGGGGHHHH! Then to lose it with 1 minute left was just inexcusable. By the way, how many passes does Reche Caldwell have to drop before we stop throwing the ball to him? By the way #87, you just got a new nickname: Bill Buckner! How glorious would it have been for Tom Brady and the Pats to win their … Read More

Planters Arriving…

Bob FranquizUncategorized

Had a great meeting this afternoon with Matt Mahaffey, a student Pastor from Indy that wants to plant a church in South Florida. Matt’s a sharp guy with a heart for this area. I’m glad he met with Travis, who’s getting it done in Homestead. Plus, Matt’s coming to the National New Church Conference in April and is going to check out my pre-conference workshop on portable churches. I love talking shop. I love hanging with guys that are taking steps of faith. I feel like I get built up whenever I’m around guys who want to lay it all … Read More
