BK One.

I am not sure what God is up to with a relatively new relationship in my life, but I do know He is up to something. Last fall, I got to meet and get to know bk a little bit at a training for my job. Funny thing is, bk's dad was my high school civics teacher, and his dad had a profound influence on my life changing direction for the positive when I was a junior in high school. At the time, I was hanging out with the wrong people doing the wrong things, and of course I didn't listen to my parents when they pointed out these things to me because I knew everything, but when bk's dad talked to me, it meant something to me. Maybe God intervened on my behalf through his dad? That conversation initially catapulted me to stand up for truth and work with the tools that God gave me as gifts for the good. Fact is, bk and I are now encouraging one another in our walk. Initially, we both thought that maybe God was calling bk to come to BK-LYN to work with me. For now, it doesn't appear to be God's plan. But maybe someday. For now, I will continue to pray that God uses bk in incredible ways in his neighborhood. That He brings men that could use another man to walk alongside them and encourage them, just as he is encouraging me in my walk.

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.

Big Difference.

I heard my superstar say this to the girls this week: "Discipline sounds like something that is bad, right? But really, it isn't. It means to push yourself to doing something. Like journalling, reading your bible, spending time with God. That is a spiritual discipline. See how that isn't a bad thing?" For nearly four years now (you can get the full story if you look back to 2007 postings), I have certainly elevated my game in the area of spiritual disciplines. Reading the bible more than I ever did before, truly engaging with what God's desire is for my life, not just when it is convenient, trying to spend time being still and listening to what God has to say to me, and one thing I never really understood why superstar did it - journalling. I really started engaging in my morning "Java with Jesus" when I began to work for my company in the D. I would get up early to drive down Alter Road to the little park where the lake turns into the D river.

By far the most beautiful.

It has been a week since the death of my mother. A week ago right now, I was going on 14 minutes of sleep knowing that my mom had made her transition to heaven. That day brought many emotions for certain. A lot of sadness and grief knowing that she was gone from this world. Sadness in knowing that I would never again hear the sweet sound of my mother's voice calling my name from somewhere off in the distance. Knowing that my children would no longer run from here to there shouting "GRANDMA!" as I have so many times seen them do with such joy in their hearts. Knowing that I would never again on this earth see Hon and Hon holding each other. Kissing. Making each other laugh. This doesn't seem like a moment to speak about the beauty of life, yet I can only find myself focusing the last few days on just that - the beauty of life. I can say with some certainty that I did experience one (if not the) of the most beautiful things I have ever had the pleasure of expe
