| Happy Birthday lil' sis!!!!I know that you are gone but god i wish you were here, Happy 21st sis i love you. I know that you can't physically wrap your arms around me but i feel you here with me. I know that the time that we spent together was oh so short but the memories i have of us playing in the front yard together with our big wheels and chalk on the driveway are ones that will never stray from me. It is amazing to think about how you would be turning 21 today, you have been gone for 19 years now and i still remember you sitting beside me at dinner and taking food (especially butter) and whatever else you could reach off my plate.
Sis i think about you all the time, ever time i brush my teeth and lean down to spit, i see my tattoo in the mirror and i am reminded of you. I often wonder what i would be with you physically present in my life? Would we have continued having such a fun relationship? How would my life look differently? Would i have made the same decisions? How much fun would we have together? How many boys would i have scarred off? How would our family have been different?
It is surprising how much i have thought about you over the last couple of difficult months. It is interesting how i have felt encouraged by your life. What would you tell me i am doing wrong? I wonder how you would challenge me? These questions race through my mind, how much of my life would be the same?
I know that we spent a limited amount of time but the times and memories are so vivid in my head i hope they will never leave me. They have been replayed over and over. I hated losing you. I hated not having a lil' sis. I know that this all was out of our control. But damn it, i wish it was different some days. I know you are in a great place but i will always miss you. I hope to see you soon. Thank you for all your love....
Much love here, the best is yet to come.... | | |
| Pieces - Red - Make Me WholeThis song has really spoken to me lately and i wanted to share it with those of you who take time to read my blog. I wish i had something insightful to say about it but i believe it speaks for itself. I think there have been times in each ones of our lives where we could really relate to these lyrics. The story here is all about restoration and renewal.
I think that for me it means so much that no matter what anyone's else says, how they treat me, how they look at me, their thoughts about my choices, the weight of their disapproval, all that matters is that when i come broken before God, the only one worthy to judge me; He makes me whole, I am whole in him. Sometimes i desire others to see me in a similar fashion and am disappointed when they don't. I am learning to be satisfied with his opinion and his opinion only.
Take five mins to listen to this song.... Pieces
Let me know your thoughts....that means you, the rss readers....

| A sweet escape!!!If you have been around me much at all you know that I love KANSAS. Kansas basketball is something that i have grown up with and something that i enjoy very much. Now because i am a kansas fan that makes me have to hate missouri, Kansasans and Missourians have been bitter rivals not just on the basketball court but in life ever since they thought it would be a good idea to come across OUR border and set a couple of our cities on fire. They were hoping that would convince us to vote pro-slavery. They underestimated us.
I have always talked down on that state since learning this bit of history and always have a bad taste in my mouth. However, right now i am sitting on a balcony at a lodge in Big Cedar, staring at the beautiful table rock lake with hills that are covered in various shades of green trees. Missouri has never looked so beautiful but they always say looks are deceiving.
Even though I only get a day to escape here to visit with some family and boat on the lake it is worth every second of the drive here. It is hard to be stressed about anything or even to think about tomorrow when in this environment. It makes me slow down, there isn't even internet to bog my mind down. I know that i have to drive back all to soon but now it is time to stop typing and get on the water. Thanks to the Green's for letting me share this time with you, love you all.
much love to everyone, the best is yet to come!!!!

| A bi-polar me???Let me apologize for the lack of posts lately. I have had many things that I wanted to blog about but i felt it was important to respond to a comment on my last posting as my next blog posting.
I was completely shocked to be called bi-polar and have someone question if i really knew who i was. I am thankful DC that you felt like you could call me out, however, i didn't feel like i could make another post without addressing some of what you said.
As far as me being bi-polar, i couldn't disagree more with that notion. I know i am not normal but I know for some people there is a huge disconnect between politics, religion, and what they value in life and in their minds and hearts but for me i see them attached so tightly. I believe the things i do in politics because of the life jesus showed us in the gospels. Believe me sometimes it is pretty attractive to resort to violence to solve a problem and to show someone how important and powerful i am but then i recall the passage where jesus talks about forgiving your brother 7 times 7, not to mention the countless verses were the bible speaks of vengeance belonging to the Lord.
How i view corporations is no different, i want my whole life to be set in a way that resembles Christ's teachings. I am in no way close to that being the reality but it is something would like to strive for. I know i am not perfect. I know that sometimes i would rather have some form of instant gratification but that doesn't mean i don't have goals.
DC i can't say that i understood all of what you were saying but here are the answers to the questions you asked.
As far as your first question goes, who is luke kendall?
I am someone who is extremely passionate about issues he deems important or valuable in life, i also tend to be extremely outspoken about this things also. I am driven to achieving my goals that i set for myself. I am someone who is constantly seeking to understand God more. Lastly, i am someone who loves to have a good time and enjoy life without having to stress about all the problems in the world.
What is my legacy going to be?
I honestly don't know, I hope it is a great one, i hope that it is one that is known around the world, not to be famous but because i made a difference. I don't think you can know your legacy until much later in life.
What do i really want in life? This is the most difficult question because i could take many different ways. Ultimately, i want to make a difference in other people's lives. i would love to help them experience God's love in a much deeper and unique way then they have before. More than anything i don't want to feel at the end of my life that i lived a selfish life.
Lastly, i do believe the best is yet to come, if i didn't i wouldn't still be breathing.
Much love.....the best is yet to come | | |
| What High School taught me about Corporations!!!As i sat in training today for my new job, not only does training blow but the worst part for me is when you go over the corporation's bible, i mean their handbook. Seriously who thinks all that shit up and writes it all out, oh a corporate disciple, i mean slave, i mean employee. You can wear your hair like this but not like that. Wear your khaki's like this and t-shirts on this day not that one. You can only have two pictures on your desk and they must be in frames. Also, don't even think about popping a bag on popcorn on your break in the break room, that is an automatic termination.
While sitting in class it was all i could do to not laugh out loud while reading this junk. Then all of a sudden i remember why i hate corporations so much, besides their greed and politics, they so much resemble the immaturity of high school cliques. These groups of people had leaders who "decided what was best for everyone" they decided what the best hangouts were, the best clothes to wear, what bands to listen to, whether or not it was cool to have school spirit or not, whether or not they would drink alcohol or smoke weed.
I know that some of you can't help but pick yourself off the ground with laughter coming from the irony and truth of this situation in this country. These same people tell me that i need to grow up, i just smile and say "RIGHT ON" and mutter to myself, i will right after you do. They want to believe they have grown up but in reality they wouldn't know what to wear if the company didn't spell it out to them in black and white. They have found yet another clique to belong to and tell them how to operate. What is so sad to me is that most will do anything to gain acceptance inside that clique, trying to impress more and more people in order to gain popularity or power. Corporations are no better than socially acceptable cliques.
Sorry if this seemed negative but it was more comical to me so i thought i would share it...leave your thoughts...much love the best is yet to come!!! | | |
