No for New Leaders

I thought that maybe this was the position God had laid out for me in NYC, but I got my rejection letter in the mail on Saturday. So superstar brings the envelope to me in the garage as I am cleaning it for liv's bday bash today. I open it....thank you but no thank you...blah blah....form letter....so no. I'm fine with it, but I thought maybe this was it so that we could start doing things to move....
But it is not. I know that God has a better plan, and I am going to trust in him. Doesn't mean it is easy to get the no letter. But from the beginning I have asked God to open the doors HE wants open for me, and close the doors he wants closed. I know he doesn't want to bring my family and I harm so I will trust in Him...
ANYWHO-Superstar and I read the letter, and then on the radio, the DJ says "Here's the new tune from the Wombats-Moving to New York" We look at each other, look at the radio, look at each other. Start laughing. God must have known to put that song on the radio for us. If you want to hear some of the comedy-you can listen to a little bit of the song at:

then click on their music player. The song starts out talking about having a crazy week, something something, Christmas coming early, whatever. Just funny. So we're moving to New York. I just don't know when, where, or what we'll do for an income. Just another crazy week...

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...
