ARRIVAL OF COLLIN!!!


So I get the call on Saturday that mattsy and t's baby is on the way. I pray then for health and wellness, and a safe birth. From what I understand, t had to work hard, but all is well. When I got the picture, tears abound. God created this little boy for all to enjoy, so that we might see His hand at work in the world. God's beauty. Say no more.

I haven't talked to mattsy yet, but I have been praying for him and t. That God would reveal Himself and His plan for their lives through Collin. I pray for mattsy to become a Godly man, and teach his son what life is about, be a demonstration of humility, always communicate openly and honestly with his son, demonstrate love for his wife in a Godly way, teach his son about the way, the truth, and the life. I pray that God will use me to be a part of that life, and that I will be available to help mattsy and collin each day.

Mattsy sent me a text message after I sent one to say congratulations: "Thanks, he is awesome, can't wait for you to meet him." Tomorrow I am going to drop the chicas off at the airport to go to Harry's in FLA, and I hope to meet him then. Joy overwhelms me right now. Emotions force tears out of my eyes as I have hope in HIM that Mattsy will learn through being a parent just how much his father in heaven loves him. God bless the Walsh family each day.

Too, Too, Too Much Fun

Alright. So you're sitting in front of your computer right now. And you're saying to yourself at about 8:00 pm: "Huh. It's been dark out for nearly three and a half hours now. What else can we do for fun?" Well, sir, we have the answer. Take a look at this.

Righteous or Unrighteous?

Today, as I thoroughly enjoyed my walk to the school, I pondered quite a few things, as I often do on my walk. Sometimes I pray for people like Hammy, Jimmer, sick pete, mg, cdubs, pastor, beary, and the like. But today, I simply reveled in the fact that God loves me. As I watched the snow melting away, I could see the dirt and garbage left behind throughout my walk. I think of how God melts away our dirt and our garbage. How he longs to be in relationship with us, and how he cleanses our sins from existence. As the sun rose, I couldn't help but think of the verse I read this morning in Matthew 5:45 - "...that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes the sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous." I pondered if Jesus was walking with me, which of the above categories would HE put me in? I'm pretty sure the unrighteous one at times. But yet he still walks with me and leads my steps. He brings the heat ...

Casa de Kelly - a nice place to dine.

It has been a challenging week for me personally. Struggling with some things personal in nature, nothing that I need to go into, but just working hard to keep my chin up. But encouragement comes to me through others that follow God. Thanks to sick Pete for his encouragement to me this week. Thanks to BK for his prayers and vulnerability. But my biggest thanks goes out to the kkft. After a tough week, I got an email yesterday from superstar saying she was hoping to take me out to dinner for drinks, conversation, and even dessert. But no sitter. So her and the girls were working on 'casa de kelly' restaurant in our apartment. I am almost certain it was the best restaurant I have ever visited in my life. Candlelight, mexican food and latin music, time to sit and chat with my wife, the girls serving us and giving us privacy (even had the taboo buzzer to call them when we needed something :)), it was my best night of the year by far. But perhaps the biggest part of the n...
