What is Judgement House?

The first thing you might think when you see the name of this is...Geeze! These people can't even spell. What's with the "e"? Truth is, it's a quirky thing the team out of Clearwater, Florida decided to add and leave. Nuff said.

It was a long time ago when I first heard about Judgement House. Trent was up at the pulpit making announcements and said, "We are going to have a full media blitz". My ears perked up and my eyebrows raised just a tad. Maybe, just maybe, this is where I can help...

Well, due to those good old church budgets, we went from "full media blitz" to "free, beg and plead blitz", but the good news is...it's working. I think we are going to get a lot of coverage and exposure, and even better...a lot of community response.

Judgement House, for those of you who don't know, is a walk-through drama where a guide takes a group of people through a series of rooms to tell a story. I am so excited to be a guide and believe me when I say, this thing is going to be HUGE. The route took me places I'd never seen at Porter. But that's not what I mean by huge. I had constant cold chills just walking the route and hearing about the scenes. This is a real and true "God Thing." I think once the doors open at 6:30 each night, we will all just be there for God to use our bodies, our voices, our compassion...whatever we have to give, to fulfill His glory. He is ready to work through Judgement House. I can feel it coming.

So, that is what it is I am so passionate about right now. I want my friends to come, I want my family to come. I want people I've never met to come because I want to see how a glimpse of His power can change us... Can change our thoughts, change our minds, change our hearts, change our lives. I am absolutely humbled to be a part of His work. If you want to come, don't forget to make a reservation. Reservations are required, and you won't be sorry you made one.

Why Blessed Kendence?

I figure it's about time I get with it and create a blog. I like to claim to be a little technical, but after tonight, I'm not so sure. You think that getting cable and internet would be exciting, yeah? And it is, until you promise your daughters they can finally watch a movie and your DVD player now doesn't work. All the wires go somewhere, and between 3 remotes, I'm still at a loss. "Girls, it will have to be a Disney Channel special," I say as I look around my new house in a final conclusion....yes, I am truly female. Don't get me wrong, I can use a hammer and even a power drill, but some jobs are just bigger than I am for now.

So, why the name "Blessed Kendence"? Blessed - I am genuinely blessed. Although I am a single, divorced mom and that comes with its whole heap of problems, I am healthy and my girls' smiles are enough to remind me how amazing my God is and how rich I really am - although, if you asked that question to my bank, you'd get an entirely different answer. But I get it. I see the big picture. I know I am rich in the things that matter. Kendence - My daughters are Kennedy (5) and Cadence (3). More about these little ones when I get some photos onto this computer.

Anyway, I truly have a lot going on right now in my life. So if you are checking this out for the first time and I haven't talked to you in a while, don't feel bad. I truly haven't had time. I am working a full time job, a part-time job selling Pampered Chef and I am elbow deep in Judgement House at church. OK, probably up to my neck deep and I still have lines to memorize! The latter has my heart at the moment. I will write more about Judgement House later.

I just wanted to get myself on the map so that I can keep you guys posted on what goes on with me, get some frustrations out and type away, even if nobody ever reads it.

Going to bed now. Goodnight.
