Lynette, Pascal & I are back from Kentucky. I had the privilege of officiating the wedding of Andrew and Hannah. The whole weekend was filled with beautiful relational moments. Dallas and Leanne came down to the wedding so we even got to spend some time with my brother.
As the ceremony began it was as though the pores of my body opened up and sea of sweat gushed forth, I have never sweat like that in my life. There is no antiperspirant in the world that could have held back those flood waters. Needless to say, I was more than a little embarrassed; I hope and pray that it wasn’t too much of a distraction. Apart from that, it was a beautiful day in every respect. Andrew and Hannah were radiant.
I met Phil who is a good friend of Andrew’s and is currently working on his PhD at St. Andrews with Trevor Hart. Phil was a gracious and insightful sounding board for some of my constructive work of late. He was an embodiment of the “why” I’d love to pursue a resident PhD once my DMin is complete.
On our way to the wedding we were able to have dinner with Joe & Sara Myers (Joe is the author of “The Search to Belong” if you haven’t read this already do – especially if you’ve ever felt a longing for community or a twinge of guilt for its lack). I already love these guys – there is a graciousness about them that is to be coveted.
This was Pascal’s first flight, and he did super. We did have one scary moment, when Lynette and I had to take Pascal to the hospital at three in the morning on Saturday, he was having trouble breathing, lot’s of coughing, and shallowness of breath, he’s fine now we’ve got doctor appoints set up for him at home.
It’s good to be home and I’ve got lots of grading to do for a Mars Hill Grad School “Biblical Theology” class.
Peace, dwight
