crystal mountain rocks

So being on a state board of directors for a professional association is pretty darned cool. We had our annual 'summer retreat' this week, along with the two day board meeting and the change of leadership dinner. I don't think people understand the value in being involved with such a great group of people that are committed to doing what is best for kids. Spending time hearing about the great things that others are doing, the success they are having, the passion people have for their work is very encouraging. Plus it doesn't suck that just about each one of them likes to have fun as well. I got to take superstar, the girls, and the in-laws went too. We stayed in a condo and had an incredible time, even if I was busy each day....

It was just a really fun few days learning and playing at the same time. What a concept, huh? It was also interesting to me to see some beautiful parts of Michigan, and to think down the road if we would see these places again. Or maybe we will be doing the same type of thing but in 'upstate' new york. Because people don't say 'up north' there, they don't. It will be fun to see what happens as we move along the path of the future.

Here is a picture of the condo we stayed in:

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...
