The Kelloggs

Our Family’s Twenty-Second Year of “First Day of Class” Cady Noreen began her first year of school in 1996. Becca in 1999. Rachel in 2002. I love “new school year” hoopla. I love the smell of new pencils in a pencil sharpener. I love 3x5 cards. It is amazing to recognize that Rachel only has… Continue reading Back to School

Greetings from hot, humid summertime in Florida! Thunder is currently rumbling outside, and I’m glad I have a surge protector on my computer. Such is life in the American “rainforest”! The first weekend of this month I drove north and spent time with two of our daughters, Rachel and Becca. I had dinner with Rachel… Continue reading Sum, Sum, Summertime!

Hello friends and family! The school year has wound down for us and summer is barely off in the distance. Both Andy and I have jobs that “calm down” in the summer time and each of us are using this time to take steps of faith. Andy is helping work through the ideas, “Can the… Continue reading Stepping Out

Nineteen Eighty Five! A year after college graduation I (Catherine) moved to San Bernardino, CA, to work at the headquarters of Cru. I was assigned to a team of writers in the Mass Media office and I worked with a woman named Wendy Hill. Wendy grew up in Connecticut (like me!). I met her older… Continue reading The Years Go By

More recently that support has expanded to staff… Continue reading Serving The Servants

Andy and I no longer have any teenage children — Miss Rachel turned 20 on 12/30. Cady, Kevin and Zach are tiptoeing toward 30 (still a… Continue reading It’s The Little Things!!

The Storm Has Passed, Why Do I Still Feel Like This? Standing on Jell-O. That is how I would describe the feeling I’ve had since returning to Florida in August — like trying to get solid footing on Jell-O. Every time we start to get our lives in order something shifts or changes. * Becca and… Continue reading Looking At My Calling

It is hard to believe the picture above was taken nine months ago; I mean “one grandchild, two months of summer in Colorado, and three children leaving home” ago. And now one hurricane ago. We wanted to send you a quick note to let you know we are well after Hurricane Irma. One thing that… Continue reading Hurricane, “Hunker Down” and HeiHei

Hello Framily (Friends and Family!)! Well — it has happened — I am one of “those” grandparents who pulls out photos at the drop of a hat and even subjects perfect strangers to the short video of Rylie’s sweet smile. Thank the Lord this season of my life hit when there is Facetime on my… Continue reading Out West and Home Again!

“Life is so un-nerving for a servant who's not serving, He’s not whole without a soul to wait upon...” - Lumiere Hello friends and family! It is a Fort Collins, Colorado, Seminary Program, New Staff Training, Leadership Training, National Staff Conference Summer! For both Andy and me that means extra (though fun) responsibilities and a wonderful… Continue reading Summer is coming…
