It is an honor.

Today marks the first morning gathering for communitas. Many years and many tears have passed before this day by many people involved directly or indirectly in this church plant. But for me, as I woke up well before my alarm this morning, it is an honor to be a part of this morning's festivities. It is a priveledge for me to be involved with a courageous group of people united together in a dangerous mission with an unknown outcome. God continues to surprise me with His mighty providence for me, for my family, for my brothers and sisters in Christ, and for communitas nyc. It is an honor to serve His glory and majesty in this world where we try to bring a piece of His kingdom here to earth. It is an honor to work to take over territory from the enemy for Him. It is an honor to get in our van this morning, drive into Manhattan, and gather with others that are seeking to track their lives the way Jesus wants us to track them. It is an honor.

We continue to pray for you and the team. We know the mission field is ripe for the harvest and the workers are few. We know you have chosen to obey and walk with joy in obediance to the King. May the years of preperation show forth in a mighty harvest. TMP

Timm,

Met with Jason today at Norm's music. He was pretty impressed with your work on Sunday- looks like you are our tech director, and sound engineer!

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...
