Boys to Men

Just want to give a shout out to my boys to men group. Cay-uh and sick pete. Thanks for pushing me up when I fall down. Thanks for encouraging me to follow Jesus, and live the way God wants me to live. Thanks for being real and sharing your struggles. Thanks for giving me the honor in sharing in your celebrations of God working in your life.
As we met Friday morning, I realized how much I missed meeting with pastor to focus my boydom to manhood walk. Having a christian man to pour into my life is something that I have always needed, especially with how stupid I usually am. Pretzel used to do that, and for years I asked for someone. Then came along pastor. That was an incredible spring board in my spirituality, my listening to Jesus, and my personal growth. Then pastor goes and leaves me-just kidding-he moves on to serve others and follow Jesus. So, my own dumbness kicks in without having a set time to meet with him. I can't wait to get to nyc so that we can pick up where we left off. But then I won't have cay-uh, and I'm not sure when sick pete will go....

So what I'm saying is if you are a man-you need to find people around you to support you in your walk. My suggestion is this-don't try to create an intimate group with a LOT of people. Make it small and go from there. Commit to meeting, and don't let it stop, no matter what. Make the time and don't ever let life get in the way. Because it will not work without your commitment. Go. As Liv would say "Hey. Do 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...
