I'm going to NYC

So Friday morning I thought for a few minutes 'what if the job opportunities I'm in the mix for don't result in a job?' Not for long, and I wasn't freaking out, I just was thinking what if it doesn't get to a job? So I get an email a couple hours later to come to NY for a job interview on the 13th. OK, now I'm freaking out. No one has asked me to come there yet. I'm supposed to be at a conference on the 13th....aaaaaaaahhhhhhh! So I call superstar and tell her-cool, call and see if that's the only day available. OK. I forgot my phone at home that morning, and superstar being the servant she is dropped it off in my Jeep. So I tell her I'm going to go get my phone to see if they called also. Nope, but another organization did to schedule a first round interview. ALRIGHT GOD-I GET IT. Thank you!!!! So long story short, I've got both of them scheduled on the 20th in NYC. Checked flights Friday-almost $300 round trip, but waited until Saturday-only $179 round trip. Call the Pastor-I won't even have time to tell you all the cool things that are happening with him while he is in NYC on the plunge at the same time-he books me a room at the Hezballah House (as sick pete likes to call it) for $60 a night. That's a lot better than $260 in case you're not good at math.
I can't wait to be there-I can't wait to be there-I can't wait to be there!
But as sick pete reminded me today-I'm still here, so I'm trying to focus on following Jesus today.

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...
