Eating Healthy

So I'm pretty sure that I'm not supposed to be eating sugar. I felt like I wasn't supposed to for a long time, and I thought it was God telling me, but I ignored it, and kept eating sugar and sweets. Then I find out that some of the communitas people have given up sweets until all the houses sell. Maybe that's why I was convicted? So I kept ignoring, ignoring, even eating more of them. But at the retreat in DC, I decide I was out on the whole sweets thing. I've been weening myself off of sugar in my coffee, etc., so Now I haven't eaten junk for a week. No cookies (THAT ONE IS HARD), no chocolate, no nothing that is junk or sugar or sweets. Feels pretty good.

I also told superstar that when I got back from the conference, I needed to start eating right. So she is packing my lunch so that I eat well at school. And it really feels right to not eat junk. I mean, I have NEVER limited sugar or sweets in my life. I wanted it, I ate it. When I wanted, what I wanted, whatever. So I think God is preparing me for something. Maybe just helping me to clear all the toxins out of my body that I have been pumping in there.

But I have to admit, Wednesday night in NYC, I had a 7 oz. burger at a place near Kallen's. MMMMMMMM. It was so good. Pastor didn't think I could eat it, but I did. All of it. But I did not have dessert. I've also really been into eating apples this week. I never liked eating apples, but they are really tasty, especially the red delicious kind. Now, sick mother, you know the rest of the story.

Thank you! I'm right there with you! So is Sick Pete by default. If you like red delicious and are craving a sweet - find a Honey Crisp apple - they are sometimes hard to find - BUT they are SO YUMMY! Just like eating a sugar stick ; )

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...
