Back to Reality

I am not certain how people that live in the 'real world' survive. Christmas has traditions for each and every family, society, area, whatever. For the kkft, it means that I don't have to go to work for a couple of weeks. Don't get me wrong, much is accomplished during this time. I enjoyed so much spending quality time with my beautiful superstar, my loving children, and all kinds of friends and family. God has blessed me so much, it is really kind of sickening to ponder. Why do I deserve all His love?

Anywho-tomorrow is back to the real world. Thanks to all the slippies of this world that continued to work and serve my family and me over the break while we shopped, bowled, ate, drank, and were merry. Thanks to all the folks that I got to spend quality time with this break and thank you, God, for a job to go back to to start this year off right.

I keep meaning to ask, kkft?? I get kelly family time, but the first k??? Please don't tell me that you're using the first k as kwality instead of quality?

As you know you don't "deserve" any of the wonderful love HE pours out upon you. But since HE is love and HE delights in his children---then you receive the great joy of His never ending blessings.
Glad you had a fab vacation. Glad to have gotten quality time together too. Happy New year Pickel head!

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.

10 years in a day

So my days are beginning to run together, and the timelines in my brain are blurry after being on the ground at CEM for three days or has it been four? Either way, let's just say that one day in India is like ten years. That is a pretty good description of what reality is like here. Pastor said that sandrews said that on a trip here many years ago, and I was shocked by just how accurate of a statement that was. A day here can bring life events that you might be exposed to once in ten years living the way we live in the US of A. Here, life is hard. No matter what. As we drove to a 'village church' yesterday, we were what one team member describes as 'in the boonies.' (What does that mean exactly?) We saw things that I don't even know if I would have seen in 10 years living in the US. Men harvesting sugar cane and loading it on trucks. That sounds like a very simple sentence, and a very simple thing to do. But when it is in the upper 90's, and ther
