Friday Fun
Spring break has arrived! Well, at least for some in the KenneyKrewe. I did take today off though. I got up early and got the truck's yearly inspection done and then came back home and got the kids up and around. I took them to the movies to see "The Croods". It was ok, not excellent, not bad, but ok. Of course the kids liked the popcorn at 10AM! Angie wasn't able to go as she was working for some friends.
How about this...I think I'll keep them!

Palm Sunday
Today is Palm Sunday. So what? It’s a fair question. For those who may be a little unfamiliar on the significance, check this out:
Jesus’ Triumphant Entry (Mark 11: 1-10)
As Jesus and his disciples approached Jerusalem, they came to the towns of Bethphage and Bethany on the Mount of Olives. Jesus sent two of them on ahead. “Go into that village over there,” he told them. “As soon as you enter it, you will see a young donkey tied there that no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks, ‘What are you doing?’ just say, ‘The Lord needs it and will return it soon.’”
The two disciples left and found the colt standing in the street, tied outside the front door. As they were untying it, some bystanders demanded, “What are you doing, untying that colt?” They said what Jesus had told them to say, and they were permitted to take it. Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their garments over it, and he sat on it.
Many in the crowd spread their garments on the road ahead of him, and others spread leafy branches they had cut in the fields. Jesus was in the center of the procession, and the people all around him were shouting,
“Praise God!
Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the Lord!
Blessings on the coming Kingdom of our ancestor David!
Praise God in highest heaven!”

Week in Review
Another busy week and another busy weekend. Katelyn & Emma had their gymnastics and volleyball practices throughout the week. Katelyn may have had a migraine on Thursday night...she left gymnastics practice in tears and complaining of head/back pain. Friday morning she was fine though.
Thursday I worked on my mid-point performance review all day. I can't stand writing on myself! It's always easier to write on somebody else. I took yesterday off and made a road-trip down to NC to see Dad. Hopefully some motivation so he can get better and go home soon!
Today Emma has an all day volleyball tournament. She had to be at the gym at 8AM, and her last match doesn't start until 6pm.
Katelyn has drum lessons this morning and then a "drum-off" tonight. She then has gymnastics meet tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully she'll do as well as the last one and look like this from a couple weeks ago...

WEC 10yr Birthday
It was our church's 10 year birthday this past weekend. For one Sunday all 3 campuses and all the service times met at one time, at one location (Hampton University). This is somewhere in the neighborhood of 4700 people!

Love Week (Edit)
Here's a video from Emma's love week student event...a little fun between projects... Can you find her?
If you didn't find her...look to the left of the screen, about halfway up, she's in a purple sweatshirt.
This week is Love Week. What's that you ask? It's our church's week of supporting our local communities. The goal this year is 10,000 hours of community service. Emma's student group met tonight. Almost 350 students met to put food stuff together to send to Haiti, they wrote letters to troops and letters to sick kids. She said it was pretty cool.
Tomorrow I will do some Meals on Wheels and will go to a local Senior Living center to teach some basic computer skills. (maybe I'll make a video and send it to you Mom!) In the afternoon, Angie and the girls will be going to a local school and helping organize the library.
Do you have a favorite memory of some volunteer service you did sometime in your past?

Weekend Wrap Up
Sickness continues in the KenneyKrewe household. I went back to work on Friday, but I think I paid for it yesterday. I was wiped out and felt terrible all day yesterday. So far today I feel much better! Saturday morning Emma got sick in the middle of the hallway. She slept until early afternoon and then she managed to get up and come downstairs to watch some movies with me. I think she's all better today. Last night before bed, Nicholas got sick! He seems to be doing just fine this morning though.

Parents
Over our years, we all probably looked up to our parents in awe, looked up to them in respect, looked up to them in disbelief, looked up to them in bewilderment on how we could possibly be their child, looked up to them in anger, looked up to them in spite and the older we get the more we hopefully look up to them in love.
Love of parents affects us all. Maybe we're a Mama's boy, maybe we're the apple of Dad's eye, maybe we call one of our parents 10 times a day, maybe we go weeks or even months without speaking, maybe our parents passed when we were young, maybe our parents lived to be 90+, maybe they lived without any medical problems at all and maybe they lived with too many medical issues to list. Maybe the end was fast and maybe the end was drawn out. End the end, we all love our parents.
The love of parents brings tears to our eyes. The joy, the love, the pain, the anger; they all affect us. If our parents are in pain, in discomfort or fear it pulls our hearts out of our chests. We ask questions like why them? Why me?
The past few months have opened a part of my heart I was unaware of before. I love my Mom and I love my Dad. I probably haven't expressed that enough over the years. God has placed amazing people in my life and several of us seem to be experiencing different levels of this parents love cycle of life. I pray that we can bond together and lean on one another for support and understanding. I'm here for you and I hope you are here for me.
If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! (Ecclesiastes 4:10)

Quick To Anger, Slow To Love
How's your temper gauge? Do you boil fast, simmer and then explode, or do you stay cool? I think I'm a simmer....simmer....rumble...EXPLODE. It is an area I've tried to work on over the years and I think I'm much better about keeping things in check and in perspective. Hopefully I get a head nod from Angie and my kids.
A line from one of my favorites songs goes: "Quick to anger and my love was slow"
(The God I Know by Me in Motion - View here http://youtu.be/Smm5R_3_inM.)
Think about that for a minute. How much have I missed because my anger got in the way? Life happens, stress builds, and things don't always go my way. I will move to have my little pity party for a short duration and then move on with life, move on with the joys I have and move on with the blessings in my life.
Move on and learn to Love. How's your gauge?
