Walking Tall

So I have been walking to work in May, even though there have been a few days I did drive. It is hard to not take time and look around you when you are walking to and from work. The trees are prettier. The birds are great in the morning-singing to me, flying across to and fro. The green of this time of year is quite beautiful also to watch. Sometimes I walk quietly and pray. Sometimes I just ask God to speak to me and listen. Sometimes I listen to the ipod-which by the by is arguably the best invention by humans-EVAR!-and I had forgotten how much I like music. I mean when I was in college, I would go to the record store (because that is what it was called-"New Moon Records" and peruse the used CD's and trade some in and get new ones. Listen to music, then trade again to get something new. Sometimes if I really liked it, I would keep it. Of course, my home slice Rod used to work there so I got a great discount. ANYWHO-back to the story-
Walking to work has been great. I so look forward to the walk to work in nyc, I wonder often as I walk to work where I will be walking to and from. I can tell you I do know that I will see more people on my walk there than I do here. I look forward to that. I love walking. When I went to school in Ecuador, I would walk a different route each day. I can't wait to do that in nyc.
You should try walking somewhere too. Even if you live on a road that is dirt. :)

I have tried walking on my road that is dirt. Ruthless neighbors refuse to drive under 50mph! Rock to the head doesn't feel so good!

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...
