Loving God, Loving Others, Loving Yourself, and Loving Life
100 Years My Daddy would have been 100 years old today. He was born May 24, 1919 and named Reginald Kelly Waggoner. I decided that writing would be a good way to honor him and maybe help a few people along the way. He was named after Kelly Airforce Base in San Antonio where he…
The lifeless, human body of Jesus was laid in that borrowed tomb. It was done. Death had come. And that was the end of that, right? I mean death is death. So when Jesus cried out from the cross, “It is finished”, it really was over. Well, Yes. Now stay with me here. Just think with…
Golgotha Jesus went to the cross for you and for me. The culmination of every moment in the past, present, and future comes to completion in three days. Regardless of all the arguments, one fact remains. The man called Jesus laid down His life for all of humanity. In Matthew 22:37-40 Jesus was speaking to…
The Garden of Gethsemane is such a beautiful place. The olive trees, some of them hundreds of years old, stand as a reminder of the incredible history of this garden. A relief sculpture in the area catches my eye. The anguish and pain is captured beautifully by an artist’s hand. But regardless of how beautiful…
I have decided to revisit some posts from previous years and share with you. I pray that God will speak through them to someone this special week.When you and I came to know and accept Christ, we became palm branch wavers.

We started worship today with the choir and orchestra singing and playing The River is Here. Our choir and orchestra take their responsibility of worship very seriously. They understand that they are on…
Some of you read my previous post; Lost – Jesus. If you haven’t and want to, go to http://www.livinglovewithkelly.com/lost-jesus/ Through the Light Fog A few days ago was clean-up day at our house. Time for Christmas decorations to be carefully packed away to wait for another year. I had followed the leading of the Holy Spirit…
I love Christmas. I love the lights, the decorations, the anticipation of things to come. I love the preparation and excitement. I love seeing and hearing more of the message of Christ in the secular world – even if unintentional. But this year something horrible happened. I was doing my normal Christmas decorating around the…
I have watched our country as an enormous storm of evil has rolled in with a vengeance in an attempt to steal, kill, and destroy all that is good and right. What I am seeing is not anything new. The history books tell the story over and over. However, the world is a different place…
The desert is not a comfortable place physically, neither is it a pleasant place spiritually or creatively. I have been in all three and more than likely you have too. At this very moment I am experiencing one of the driest, hottest, most uncomfortable desert experiences of my entire life creatively. Being totally honest, I…
