As many of you know Kelly writes for HomeWord, a ministry that «seeks to advance the work of God in the world by educating, equipping, and encouraging parents and churches to build God-honoring families from generation to generation.»
Kelly's first cousin, Jennifer Strickland (Porter), will have her first book ready for purchase this September. Kelly had the opportunity to read it before it was out. Her official review:
Nearly 7 months ago I discovered Randy Pausch's last lecture on YouTube (see video below). I was very inspired and many of the words he spoke still resonate in my mind. I read today that he passed away.
On Sunday, Kelly, Campbell and I visited Denver Community Church. It's located in west Washington Park -- less than a 10 minute drive from my dad's house. We enjoyed the service and met several people after the 11am service. Campbell seemed to have a great time in the nursery too. For more info check out:
Brian Scaglia, a dear friend of Tennyson's, created a website TennysonMcCarty.com.
The official memorial was announced on the site earlier today:
Friday night we got a call. Tennyson was found dead. I didn't believe it. They must have the wrong ID; no way could this be true. I called the Boulder Police station and they told me they'd have the coroner's office call me back. That night, well after 10pm PST, I got the call I didn't want. Confirmation that Tennyson was indeed found. We all lost a great friend in Tennyson. A man that saw the best in everyone. His loving heart, his humble nature, his wonderful spirit -- all wrapped up in a memory now. It's been a few days now and I'm still processing the news. Kelly and I are both just shocked. Floods of memories have occupied our minds. It was like yesterday that we were in Dal Ward getting ready for a FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) meeting. Or watching Tennyson's latest magic trick.
It's not like anyone would try to stray from knowledge, but it's strange how quickly we can slip and find ourselves in a mess. I'm reminded about this often when I read the news. Each time I hear the heart-felt, yet cliche, testimony from a family member «they would never do this» or «I can't believe it» I am reminded of the ancient proverbial couplet:
