Back to Reality

I am not certain how people that live in the 'real world' survive. Christmas has traditions for each and every family, society, area, whatever. For the kkft, it means that I don't have to go to work for a couple of weeks. Don't get me wrong, much is accomplished during this time. I enjoyed so much spending quality time with my beautiful superstar, my loving children, and all kinds of friends and family. God has blessed me so much, it is really kind of sickening to ponder. Why do I deserve all His love?

Anywho-tomorrow is back to the real world. Thanks to all the slippies of this world that continued to work and serve my family and me over the break while we shopped, bowled, ate, drank, and were merry. Thanks to all the folks that I got to spend quality time with this break and thank you, God, for a job to go back to to start this year off right.

As you know you don't "deserve" any of the wonderful love HE pours out upon you. But since HE is love and HE delights in his children---then you receive the great joy of His never ending blessings.
Glad you had a fab vacation. Glad to have gotten quality time together too. Happy New year Pickel head!

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...
