Sans blogging

Bristol, TN
Well, it has been a month that I have not blogged.  Not to say that I haven't had thoughts to, or topics to, or what have you.  Truth be told, if I am not blogging regularly, there may well be some kind of correlation between that and my relationship with God.  As I meander off His path, I have less to consider in my mind and my spirit - hit the easy button and get on with your self.  But that is not so good for me.  Just sayin.  But this past weekend I got a chance to go to the night race in Bristol.  I did enjoy my time with D & D - and it was really an unbelievable experience.  And as I sat in the stands Saturday night in the mountains with 160,000 or so of my closest friends, I felt like God was reminding me of just how very good He is.  And that He wants me to experience the goodness of His riches and glory.  He wants all of us to.  And our personal pleasure and satisfaction in the way we pursue it may not necessarily be in line with the way He desires it to play out.  But I did feel like this short break away from the reality of family, job, life was a reminder to me of His Goodness.  And I needed that - thanks for the encouragement Lord - you know I need it so.

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...
