Taking a Break


It is important to keep the sabbath as God commands us. I don't think that I have really been doing that lately. What, with the work week crazy as it is this time of year, after school activities, meetings, etc....then you add in Friday night get togethers, Sunday meetings..blah blah. I have not taken many days the last two months to just take a break. So I did this weekend. Went with the sick family up north. Beautiful place. Ironic that we went up with the sick family and liv had the croup, and alli sat inside for a day and a half with a fever and was not well at all. So now we are having our memorial day break, and it is nice to do just that, take a break.

By the by. Kallen and I have been emailing each other back and forth. What an incredible blessing that has been to me. He told me I had to listen to Tim Keller's message from last year "The timing of Jesus". You can download it from Redeemer here. Tim Keller is hands down the greatest sermon giver I have ever heard in my life, so you should at leaast check out something by him, you will not be sorry. So what are you doing sitting there? Go!

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...
