11218-Represent!

It is a blessing from the incredible God we serve. To land in the 11218 area code. I lay in our new apartment tonight on our raised up bed from Dad, and feel the gentle cool breeze flowing into the front window. This is a beautiful place, and I can't even believe I get to live here. My girls were so excited to sleep on their new bunks tonight. Pastor, the Yankee, kushmonkey, and my boy p all came to serve us. P did most of the work, and I am so thankful for his time and energy. All the toil and energies that were used in getting the kkft here, and now I get to rest on this bed. Thank you God, for guiding our steps to get here. Thank you for this beautiful place. And thank you for the block party that is happening Saturday-welcome to the neighborhood as my new neighbor said this afternoon. I can't wait to see what awaits us here in the WT. Today, tomorrow, and beyond. See you in the neighborhood.

Our Father is so worthy of praise. From the rising of the sun till it's going down, the name of our Lord is to be praised. Sing it with me man!

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...
