From Miami

Well, it is like day 3 or 4 of vacation and we're still having a blast. I am pepto-bismalling it every couple of hours 'cause I got some stomach funk. Oh well, it is getting better. It hasn't slowed me down yet.

Since my last post, we did the Marlins game thing! That was fun. There was only about 3000 people there, but they broke their losing streak because we were there! You should have heard me sing the 7th inning stretch of "Take me out to the ball game".

Yesterday (Saturday) was a golf day at a really cool course in Coral Springs. We found it on a discount web site! Laura and I played pretty well for never playing there before. Last night was Subway and a relaxing night watching the waves from our balcony.

Today (Sunday) was a church day for us. Yes, we still do church on vacation and we are even going to another cool church tonight. ( Laura says that just 'cause we are on vacation doesn't mean God is on one....preach it sister!)

Tomorrow...it is cruise time! We can't wait. We'll gotta run...we are getting charged by the minute at this internet cafe'!

Stoked about cruisin',
Pastor Barry and Laura too!

Leave Me Alone

Why...because I am on vacation! Just kidding. Actually, you aren't bothering me! But yes, I am on vacation for 10 days with Laura! We left Thursday morning (after mowing the lawn at 7:30am and getting stung by a wasp while doing so) and headed to Miami. We got checked in and then went down to South Beach where all the freeks in the world hang out. Oh well, it was an eye opener and an experience. We actually found a real cool pizza/pasta house. It was awesome. We then road all over Miami Beach and did some sight seeing. Our hotel is 2 blocks from the ocean. It was a good bid on hotwire.com for location.

Got up this morning and we walked to the ocean. Wow, a lot cleaner and clearer than PC's beaches. Then we went to a famous deli for lunch and it was a rip off (Laura says it wasn't) , but still a fun experience. We have driven all over again today. Now we are getting ready to go to the Marlins game tonight.

Just 3 more days and we're sailing to Key West, the Bahamas, and some private island. Laura's stoked because she has never been on a cruise!

I heard things went great at Overflo last night. I knew Steve would do well. He's awesome!

Well, have a great weekend! Don't forget about 727 tomorrow night! Just because I won't be there doesn't mean you can skip too! Matter of fact, I am going to reward one person when I get back in town. So get to 727 and I will draw a name from one of you! So you want to know what the reward is (like Laura is asking right now).....I'll let you know!

Gotta run....

A Little Bit of Everything

Make sure you are at Overflo this Thursday at 6:45pm as we continue “All Out War”! We’re gonna have some snacks, great music, a fun game, and a Biblical challenge about the spiritual battle you and I face everyday. I will also be announcing the activities planned for the summer months! They rock!

Also, don’t forget to be part of 727 this Saturday night at 727! We will begin our new series “Surrendering.” As a bonus, everyone will be heading to Wendy’s on PC Parkway afterwards for a free frosty. Now bring some $$$$ if you want more than just a frosty! I’m sure we will have a blast.


Hey, Youth Alivers, make sure that 2nd payment was made! Also, there is 1 spot now available for a student to go to Youth Alive. Wanna go? See me or email me ASAP at barry@parkviewlife.com.

Well, have a great week. I’ll see you Thursday night!

Can You Say Phenominal? Is That How You Spell It?

This past Thursday rocked! And here's 4 reasons why...

1. We played a monster game of "Trench" outside. Sorry we couldn't do "Capture the Flag", but the field was being used for construction. Anyways, we had fun!

2. Bruster's Ice Cream was here giving away free ice cream. Thanks a million to the Duffy's!

3. We had 65 students on the campus! Thanks for coming out.

4. 14 Students made a commitment to either rededicate or give their life to Christ. That is phenominal!

That's what I call an incredible night at Overflo!

Now that school is out, make sure you don't forget about Overflo every Thursday at 6:45pm. We are beginning a new series that will be great. Here's some info...



See you Thursday,
Pastor Barry

Wow...It's the Last Week...of School...That Is!

That's right, this Thursday, June 5 @ 6:45pm is the night where 2 big activities will be taking place at Overflo Student Night! First, we are going to play a giant game of "Capture the Flag" and then it's a FREE ice cream party at Overflo from our friends at Bruster's!
