Family undivided

As I sat in our office at home last night, I heard my daughter weeping. She was crying about the move to NYC. She is sad to leave our home. Her school. Her friends. She is the type of kid that is emotional and caring about every single person she ever comes in contact with. And she cares deeply about others, thus, her relationships with others are valued by her greatly. So superstar, myself, and alli sat on the couch and talked through it. We talked about God and this call and what that means to our family. We talked about the new friends we will make. We talked about the visits back to Michigan in the future.
And so, that should make it all good, right? Not so much. But I do sense that God will drive our family closer together through this process. Much like I feel that Superstar and I are much closer now than we have ever been. It is my great hope that I can be the Godly man and lead our family and remain undivided as we continue this journey.
I read an interesting post here that the star sent to me. I know that our family will be greatly blessed by the diversity of nyc, and I can't wait to share in that with each member of the kkft.

Alli will be fine in NY. She will love school and the city and church. I'm glad she is going to miss us though... my heart breaks when I think I won't be able to see them anytime I want to. oh.. you and Superstar too

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.

Big Difference.

I heard my superstar say this to the girls this week: "Discipline sounds like something that is bad, right? But really, it isn't. It means to push yourself to doing something. Like journalling, reading your bible, spending time with God. That is a spiritual discipline. See how that isn't a bad thing?" For nearly four years now (you can get the full story if you look back to 2007 postings), I have certainly elevated my game in the area of spiritual disciplines. Reading the bible more than I ever did before, truly engaging with what God's desire is for my life, not just when it is convenient, trying to spend time being still and listening to what God has to say to me, and one thing I never really understood why superstar did it - journalling. I really started engaging in my morning "Java with Jesus" when I began to work for my company in the D. I would get up early to drive down Alter Road to the little park where the lake turns into the D river.

NASCAR is COMING. I Like Parties.

I haven't blogged about NASCAR as of yet, but that's because it's the off season. I am a certifiable NASCAR addict, junkie, whatever you want to call it. Always hated it growing up. Then I went to a race. Now I can't stop. I don't like most kinds of racing (although bus racing has caught my eye), but give me Cup, Busch-I don't care, I'm still calling it Busch, or Truck series, and I am happy like little school girl. And so, here it comes, and just for those of you that don't know me-here are some quotes I may have heard at NASCAR events: "I like parties." "Yup. Laid down by the generator, now he's dead." "You mean they were putting up a flagpole when they were electrocuted?" "He's a REAL chef?" "Them fire ants hurt like #$%@!" "I'll go check on the camper, you go to the auto store with Darryl." "You didn't bring a shirt with you, did you?" "There's cooki
