Ephesians 5

 1Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children 2and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
 3But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. 4Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. 5For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a man is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.[a] 6Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. 7Therefore do not be partners with them.
 8For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9(for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10and find out what pleases the Lord. 11Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 12For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, 14for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said:
   "Wake up, O sleeper,
      rise from the dead,
   and Christ will shine on you."
 15Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. 18Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. 19Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, 20always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
 21Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.

We'll talk about this soon.

Dear Friends

Dear Friends,
I promise that I plan on sending you my love and greetings on this here blog site. However, as of late, my life has taken an insanely crazy twist. Since the accident, and my last blog post, I have moved in with Lezlie and Chris to help them through the nights. I love living with them and getting to spend more time with my sister and getting to know Chris better, but it leaves little time to blog on top of the busy work schedule and soon to be class schedule.

Announcement. Announcemnet. As of August 17th, I will officially begin graduate school at North Georgia Collega and State University. I'm pursuing my MBA in hopes that it will help me in the future with starting my own non-profit and for-profit business. I've very excited and blessed with the opportunity to go back and learn more.

An update on the patients. Lezlie went back to work yesterday for the first time since June 18th. They both had MRI's last wednesday/thursday and they found that Lezlie torn a ligament in her left knee, which totally explains why she's been in so much pain with it and the swelling hasn't gone down. She'll be getting her second brace her as soon as it comes in. So yeah for double braces.

Chris went back to work today and worked a full hour :) Props to him for getting out of the house, although he won't start back for at least another week. (of course he's attached to his blackberry and his laptop at home, but Bruce has done an amazing job keeping things running).

I'm working on new post for you guys and I've been at it for almost two weeks now. It's called 101 in 1001 and its going to be fantastic. You just have to come back and check it out next week.

Until then, I pray the Lord is continuing to show favor and grace on your life and you are realizing the depths of His love for you. As my good friend says every time I say goodbye to him, call me if you need anything.

relentlessly serving Him,

Kelly

A Picture Says A Thousand Words


If a picture says a thousand words, the summary is this: 

We are blessed.
We are loved. 
We are held in the palm of His hands. 

Drive carefully my friends.
