What's Up Guys,
The past few weeks have been truly incredible. This past Sunday my staff and I gathered at Kairos to celebrate 5 years of building relationships around food. It has been an amazing journey, not only for me, but for all of us that have been a part of it. I thank all of you for your support and encouragement, and as a team we all want you to know how much we appreciate you. As we are on the eve of opening our second Kairos in Gardendale the atmosphere is one of anticipation and excitement as we can only imagine how cool this Kairos Kafe addition is gonna be!
Don't forget to take advantage of this week's Coupon (Buy three $10 gift certificates and get one free) They are good for a whole year, so this is a good time to stock up on gifts as well as getting a few for yourself. The Special this week is a collaboration between myself and Brian, one of our cooks. It is Roasted Tomato Soup served with a Pimento Cheese Quesadilla. This lunch right here is off the charts with delicious goodness, warm and hearty, and it really hits the spot on these cold days we are having. The Kwick Hitter Menu also has The Cream of Potato Soup served wih a salad or another side. My favorite combination when it is cold is the Cream of Potato Soup with Grice's Green Beans and Granny's Rolls! That is something that will not only warm you up but it will also tingle your tasebuds with goodness! The Fish is the Greek Style Tilapia, Baked in a light vinaigrette with feta and green onions... this is my favorite Fish that we do, not just because it is good, but because of smell that rises out of the oven when it is cooking. Oh my, I'm not even a big seafood guy buit this one is hard to resist. The Dessert is Peanut Butter Kobbler, and the Kwick Hitter is featuring the Woodard Kasserole (Chicken, Mushroom, Broccoli, & Rice) There is so much to be excited about this week, and I can't wait to see you in Kairos!
I am amazed and a little overwhelmed (in a good way) at all the things that are happening so rapidly in my life. It's almost like I've been on a long journey and I have this beacon of Hope set in front of me and it is always there in the distance leading me on. As I shared with you guys last week, being reconnected to my little brother was not only life changing for me on many levels, but it was also something I have prayed and prayed about for years and now it has happened, in God's perfect timing. Don't ever give up Hope. Keep Hope Alive. God is Faithful!
Many years ago, right before I was released from prison, I spent 3 days writing a Vision for my life after prison. Not really writing what I wanted to see happen, but listening and writing what I believe God wanted to see happen. There was a huge portion that was devoted to what I needed to look for in a wife. Interestingly, most of these qualities came out of the book of Ruth. To be honest, I had almost given up hope of finding the one that I would spend the rest of my life with, and I have learned how to be happy by myself. But one of my deepest yearnings is to have a familly so somehow all didn't connect. I've learned over the last 6 months or so that I had some walls built up around my heart in that area, and I wouldn't let Jesus shine his light in there because some of that stuff hurts and I really didn't want to deal with it. I gave that up a few months ago when I realized what I was doing. This past Saturday I was able to rip one of the pages out of that Vision that I wrote long ago, get down on one knee, and read it to this wonderful girl that Jesus has put in my life. After all these years, I have finally found my Ruth! The cool thing too is that she has found her Boaz.
I've always worried "How will I know?" Its pretty cool the way God works things out though because neither of us have any doubts that she is God's gift to me and I am God's gift to her. Keep Hope Alive. If we don't give up, then everything can be made right so suddenly that it will have you shaking your head in amazement.
God Bless You guys. Thank you for supporting Kairos, and have a wonderful week!

P.S. My friends Timothy and Jeanna Hendrix just opened a Bookstore/Coffee Shop in Pell City. They invited us last week to the Grand Opening last week, and I have to say that I was impressed. I plan on spending some time up there working on my cookbook. It is so peaceful. Please support them if you are in the area.
