She really is.

Not often that I feel compelled to just love my wife. (I'm just being honest, gosh.) That is mostly due to the fact that she is a very independent person that isn't needy. But I don't think I thank her enough. I don't think I praise God enough for giving me the perfect wife to meet all my needs and desires in this lifetime. Did I mention that she is Hot with a capital R? Thanks to pastors (yup - it had been plural for a while now) I was encouraged to make sure that with the flexibility of my new schedule to engage with the superstar each week. To calendarize the priority of spending time with her - and just engaging with each other in our lives. We have been doing it for a month or so. Nothing big - just go get a coffee and chat. OK, truth is I do most of the listening. That's just how it is. (Did I mention Terrace Bagels are generally part of the equation?) But today I am reminded of just how much God loves me by spending time thinking about how fortunate I am to have superstar as my wife. To have her encouraging me in my walk, my work, my family, my friends, my life. To have someone that is truly engaged in seeking God's will for our individual lives, our marriage, and our family. She is such an incredible mom - not perfect as she will admit - but I wouldn't want anyone else raising my children than her. (Did I mention yet that she is hot?) I would not be as healthy as I am in my 40's if it weren't for her modelling a healthy lifestyle - save the 'fat free' era of the early 90's - that doesn't count. I wouldn't be as full of joy as I am in my life if it weren't for her love and affection. I wouldn't be the man, the father, the person I am today if she were not my wife. (Truth is, I might not have ever graduated college) I probably wouldn't have sought out leadership degrees or positions if it weren't for her encouragement to that end. I certainly wouldn't have the friends and the deep relationships I have with many of my friends if she hadn't been a part of that piece of my life. My superstar. My wife. Today, I went for a run in the park at the same time she did - another bonus of my schedule - and I happened to be running in the opposite direction of her. After I got past her I literally (Yes, literally) thought to myself that I should turn around and yell to all the people around "HEY - THAT'S MY WIFE RIGHT THERE." But I showed self-control and shouted it to God and to myself in my head. And I thanked Him for the wonderful gift of the best wife in the world. Evar. She really is.

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...
