My new bff's

So for KKFT we did a fun thing with the girls-you pose a question and write down three things-Example-favorite food-burger, tacos, good bread. It was fun, then you guess what the others in your family wrote. So Superstar reads the question-Your three best friends. Huh. Tough to answer. Of course, fish man pops in my head because we haven't seen each other in years, but when we do, it's as if no time has passed. Berman pops in my head because we have been friends for 12 years now (ouch-i'm old), or mg, or the Donald, or.....huh. Tough to answer. But how do we define freindship? If it is someone that really knows your heart, really knows everything, really holds you accountable, really has had profound conversations? Superstar rises to the top, of course. Funny, but I never would have put her on that list in the past. Not implying anything here, just being honest, but I contend that we are closer now than ever. (Have I mentioned that I love her? See the post "Superstar is my lover.") Also, the Pastor comes to the top. I've never been so open with a man before about my heart, and I know that God put him in my life for that reason. Last is a tie between mg and sick pete. I know that I can't maintain the same friendship with mg in nyc via the distance, and that saddens me, but I am sure that God will put another Christian man in his life if he pursues it, and I think sick pete is taking mg's place when we move. I am so fortunate to have many friends that I would put in the top ten, so this was a challenge. Who are your top three bff's?

I am sad also because two of my BFFs are leaving the state. But as you said, if we ask God he will provide all the friends, qcquanitances, chums, companions, confidants, or pals that I need. I will put myself in His capable hands and not fret over the removal of my Bestest most Wonderful Sis or BFF Jen.

First, what is KKFT? Second, by far Superstart has to become my BFF whether she likes it or not! I told her that way back in September while in NYC. No one else I know is in this same journey as us with kids our same age. I truly believe HE planned the September Plunge so that our families could meet. My friends here are already drifting away. HE even gave me a scrapping buddy (M) to replace my friend Andrea whom I scrap regularly with. That was my only other concern - who would scrap with me : )

Make new friends, but keep the old - One is silver and the other's gold.

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...
