Me -n- UT

I can’t tell you the last time that I spent any time with my cousin UT. It has been five years or so since we have seen each other, but last night we went out to dinner, and went to the place with the buffalo, and hung out with our other cousin jdubs. It was fun to just spend time together, and catch up on each other’s lives. UT is going through some challenging times with his wife he is in the process of divorcing. I give him so much credit for remaining positive, and trying to do the right thing through the process. I pray that God will help him to stay on that path. Isn’t it odd how some of your friends and family –you can spend years away from each other and then just pick up where you left off. That is how we have always been, even growing up in different states. But come summer time we would get together, or at easter break, or whenever, and just pick up and hang out like no time had passed. I have always enjoyed spending time with him, and we both vowed to stay in better touch in the future. So I need to do that. Why do we fall out of touch with people that are close to us? I’m too busy….Life is full….whatever. It’s a bunch of hooey if you really thing about it. We can’t even grab the phone and call and see how things are going for someone, catch up, all that. So let’s all do a better job of keeping in touch with people. I am terrible at it, but I’m not much of a talker, so it is easy to pick back up without any problem for me. But it is something I need to work on. Especially when I move to nyc, I will need to make a concerted effort to keep in better touch with people. So I will work on it….

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...
