I love everything about this story. I love that a nine year old understands what millions of adults don’t — that everyone matters. All mankind is created in the Image of God according to Genesis 1:26-28. That means that we treat everyone well — recognizing their inherent value. No matter what each individual can offer…

About Kelly
I'm Kelly and I'm a word addict. My favorite word is twitterpated, followed closely by kerfuffle. I feel healthiest when processing life on paper- it's how I think best. Here's some more pertinent facts: I love to MacGyver my way through life and nothing is ever broken that I can't fix. The color orange reminds me of my dad and makes me feel warm and loved. The phrase, "Was it refrigerated?" can still bring me close to incontinence as I recall a hilarious late night conversation with my mom over fifteen years ago. My brother- who is half my age- helped make me the person I am today. I live my life in movie quotes and love when others can play along. I am a seminary graduate and love to write about scripture. In my spare time, I work full time as an Occupational Therapist helping people relearn how to care for themselves after neurological impairments. I am introverted and get easily overstimulated, but most people would instantly peg me for an extrovert. I was once introduced by a friend as, "This is Kelly. She's way rad!" The person misheard and thought my name was Kelly Wayrad. It's a sentiment I strive to live up to daily! I'm glad you're here. Thanks for reading my real thoughts on virtual paper!
My Resolutions?
So after all my high brow talk about making resolutions… some of you have asked what MY resolutions are for 2013! I’m glad you asked! (And thanks for reading 🙂 In 2013 I am resolved to: 1. Write at least 100 blog posts. I truly feel healthiest when writing. That’s the point of this blog.…
The Happiest 5K on the Planet
Currently, I look like a pale smurf. You might confused me for being anoxic. I have a definite blue tinge all over my body… from running. No — I didn’t lose oxygen in mile one and need ressussitation. I knew what I was getting myself into. I participated in the Color Run this weekend. You’ll…
The Ache for Adventure
We have all felt it – an inexplicable, unquenchable ache. We ache for many things in life. Ache to feel loved, ache to have purpose, and ache to experience true adventure. Modern man has actually concocted an entire industry to satisfy the ache by a cheap, or in some cases – not so cheap, thrill…
Beautiful Resolutions
If you request it. It will be written! Thanks to my friend Debbie for asking about MY resolutions! That’s the good news, the bad news is you’ll have to wait another day to hear them because I’m going to tell you about last year’s resolutions first. My resolution for 2012 was to feel more beautiful.…
My Food Resolutions
Warning: This resolution has nothing to do with dieting! (Can I get an” Amen”?) After the last post you might be wondering what sort of resolutions I make. Until two or three years ago I made the typical “lose weight” “get healthy” “spend less” type of resolutions, but they never seemed to pan out. So…
New Year’s Resolutions
Resolved. To make new year’s resolutions. I know that the average resolution lasts until January 17th. I know that they are typically too lofty to be achieved. But that shouldn’t be a problem for me. First of all, I’m rad. And secondly, I make goals for a living! I know first hand how to make…
Candle Light Vigil
I was a part of this. One year ago, at about this time, I marched silently out into the cold to stand for freedom. One of those lights is mine! As I learned attending the Passion Conference last year, modern day slavery is very real. People are being used and abused daily. I’ve heard the…
Passion Nostaligia
Once you got me started… I got really nostalgic about my Passion conference experience last year! I watched old videos, recalled words spoken and sung, and remembered what it was like to somehow feel at home surrounded by strangers. Here’s a CNN video documenting part of our experience. If you watch closely you can see…
Passion 2012
I got to be a part of something amazing. I don’t know how to describe it. It’s a conference. But it’s far from boardrooms and business casual. It’s a concert, but without sales and seat assignments. It’s a humanitarian relief fundraiser, where college students sacrificially give three million dollars to put an end to human…
