Back to NYC

The nice lady, Joan C., called me yesterday afternoon to work out the date for the 'finalist selection day' interview. It looks like it will be the 16th of April. All day interview (8:00 am to 6:00 pm), and I will know in three weeks or less from that day if I will be asked to become part of their cohort. Very exciting to think that I may start June 21st in Boston for five weeks on this new journey, and some intense training. I do know that God said to me in my quiet time to 'be a leader' and to 'be a leader of schools'. That was clear, and that was the first time He told me first instead of me following my desires. It will be such a cool thing if this is what he has in store for the kkft future. I know that no matter what, I am going to hang on to Him as we swim across the ocean of life. Like the pastor's example in church last week-sometimes we let go of Him and try to swim on our own-and that's when we sink. But He still reaches His hand down to grab us and pull us up to the surface again, and He says "Hang On." So that's what I'm going to do.

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...
