The Craziness of Summer!!

Hey everyone!

This summer has been absolutely CRAZY! So much has been happening, and I hope I can fill you in on everything before I forget!

Well, we started our yearly family vacation up north with a road trip up to New York. We were able to see some dear friends of ours for a few days until we hit a huge snag! Our oldest daughter, Ceanna, got sick and had to be hospitalized. We had so many people praying for her, and within a few shorts days, the doctors gave us the go-ahead to bring her "home". She is now back to 100% health and is the happy energetic little girl that we know.

Then, sadly we had another snag... My old QB, Steve McNair, was murdered. My wife and I put our vacation on hold for a few days to go home to Nashville and regroup. We were able to pay our respects and support Steve's family, friends, and teammates. The world lost a great man! The circumstances surrounding his death are insignificant compared to the way he lived his life and served others. Steve touched countless lives in a positive way through his humanitarian efforts and philanthropy. Of course he was also one of the greatest athletes the NFL ever had too! Also, we all have our vices and skeletons. Maybe instead of speculating and casting stones, people should be praying for his family and the girl's family. People can also learn from their indescretions and mistakes. Sorry - I had to write that. So many media outlets claimed to be reporting the "news", when all they were really doing was spreading hate and unconfirmed rumors.

Finally we are back on vacation... and dealing with another snag!!! The rental property we arranged up north was nothing like what we were told and agreed to! The land lord lied about what was offered and tried to cheat us out of our money. We had to get legal advice and are now fighting the charges. Fortunately, we were able to secure another property and are able to continue (maybe start?!?!) our vacation!

That's it for now. I'll be back in touch in a few...

Interview with Positive Impact Magazine

Hey everyone. This past week was a bit of a blur. It started on Sunday with my football camp, and that lasting until Wednesday. It was a great time, the campers seemed to have a great time. It's a blessing to know that I have been able to use some of my resources, skills, and time to help out in needed areas. There were kids from all across Tennessee and from all walks of life - all getting along.

On Thursday, I had a great time being interviews for an upcoming article in Positive Impact Magazine (http://positiveimpactmagazine.com/). I'll let you know when it gets released and also put up a link here so you can read it.

Summer is well under way in the Kinney household! My wife started a vegetable and herb garden, the kids have been swimming almost everyday, and this weekend, my wife and I took our kids to a water park in East Tennessee. We also brought the kids of some friends of ours. We had a blast!

Outside from work at the firehouse, we have a lot planned for the next few months. I look forward to keeping you posted.

Talk to you all later.

Football Camp!

Soooo... I'm really wondering if every two weeks is possible. With summer being here, I find myself soaking up every second with my family and friends, and it's hard to keep up to date with this. I'll keep trying though...

Today is the first day of the 2009 Erron Kinney Football Camp in Nashville, TN! I’m always excited about seeing the kids come out, and getting the chance to sow into their lives – through football skills, or life skills. I know this year is going to be great! If you have any questions about it, email me at info@firehouse88.com.

If you’re looking here to find out what’s happening in and around my life at home, life at the firehouse, or life involved with football, please check out www.firehouse88.com. I stay up to date with that much more, and it’s easier for you to get in touch with me about anything.

I’ll check back in later!
