A dream come true....

It's not what you are thinking. Or is it? I remember as a young adolescent having the dream of being a performer. I wanted to be a 'movie star' and move to Hollywood or New York City and be on stage. Or on the big screen. The movie thing didn't really seem that possible to me back then, so I do remember wanting to be in plays. Perhaps that is why I was involved in my senior play in HS, and various community theatre productions in college.
But my dream was to be on stage. On Broadway. Under the lights. In a real production. This weekend, my dream came true. It was not on Broadway, so I suppose it was an 'Off-Broadway' production. Actually, it wasn't much of a production. It was a simple set. Black boxes, folding chairs. There were lights, though, and I got to act with one of the most incredible actors (and mentors by the by) that I have ever met. So I finally made it. As blue eyes says-"if I can make it there, I'll make it....anywhere!" My dreams come true. Acting in New York City. Under the lights. Off Broadway. Unbelieveable that some creeker (cricker) made it. Thanks God for that opportunity.

P.S.-My beauties are way ahead of me in their lifetimes-they were on stage yesterday as well making their nyc debut. Tears in my eyes as I watched the girlies display the grace and poise and beauty that God has blessed them with. The excitement and pride and love almost made my heart crinkle.

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...
