The Comfort Inn & Suites in Tyler… & Beyond

May 7th, 2012

The fact that I grew up traveling has gone a long way to creating in me a nostalgia for staying in hotels. I realize that for many people who travel solely for work- related purposes that may seem like a fairly absurd statement. But for me, staying over night in a hotel was part of an adventure.  I’m sure that the level of one’s enjoyment of hotels is due solely to the purpose he or she has in traveling, but it’s almost always been a positive experience for me.

It’s always amusing to me to hear people discuss their requirements of a hotel. It must have this or that, it had better not be lacking in this amenity or that one… We all have different levels of expectations. I’m generally fairly easy to please. A cool, clean room, comfortable bed and working TV with Fox News and ESPN will generally keep me content. Throw in a good continental breakfast, and I may even stay another night.

On a recent trip to Dallas, (which was purely recreational mind you), I introduced my son the fun of staying in a hotel. We’ve stayed in them before, but he’s only four so his memories of previous trips are foggy at best.  On this outing I chose to stay in a Comfort Inn. Admittedly a simple establishment, but it came complete with a pool and all the amenities I’ve listed above, along with quite a few I didn’t. Now I realize this was Dallas, but I should reinforce the fact that Tyler also has a Comfort Inn which is arguably more upscale than the one I visited. Enough so that it should surely be able to meet the requirements of patrons whose needs are more… sophisticated than mine are.   The Comfort Inn and Suits in Tyler is located on South Broadway and has all the amenities one would expect, including an indoor pool, hot tube, fitness center and more. It’s generally on the more high- end side of the chain but prices are still reasonable. Tyler has what seems to me a surprising number of places to stay, but the Comfort is among the nicer choices.

Living Acts Church – Tyler

January 12th, 2010

Living Acts Church is located in Tyler, Texas by Toys ‘R’ US right next door to where Dance and Drill is. It is a church that is fairly new but with people that love the Lord Jesus. I have only been there two times so far, but I can honestly tell you that it was a blessing for me. You can tell right off the bat that the people there are friendly and very welcoming and enjoy having new people.

The pastor is great and speaks straight out of God’s word. He does not preach to please people but to please God. I have heard him say some things that I knew were hard things to hear but still he said it because he loves his congregation and wants his church to grow and mature in the knowledge and love God.

Here are some of the things that I heard and that really opened up my eyes and mind to new things and thoughts of who Christ is. They believe that the gospel that is set before us is good and it’s God’s words that decides the standard of right and wrong and is not what we think it should be. They believe that we are supposed to hate evil and love good and live a Spirit filled life so we can be the fragrance of the gospel.

There is so much more I could say but I won’t spoil the surprise of you going to their website or location to find out for yourself. I know that finding a church you like and suits your family is hard to find and by no means am I saying that this is the only church that God would have for you and your family. I am just allowing you to know my experience I have had with them so far.

I have visited several churches big and small and so far I loved what I have seen there. Besides the preaching being so good the worship is also great. It’s not big, just two people praising God.  I don’t think it matters how many people you have up front the thing that matters is that they love the Lord and want to worship Him.

They also have a place where your children will be taken care of while you are in the church service. It is not a large church in Tyler at all but that is what I liked most about it. Like I said before there is only so much I could say about this church and the rest requires for you to check it out. I think the best suggestion is to go to their website and visit them on a Sunday morning for morning church service.

There website offers information regarding everything you might want to know about their church, their mission, their beliefs and much more. If you are looking for a place to call home you should visit this church and see if it is the place God will have you and your family join or at least visit for awhile until God shows you the next step.
