It's So Exciting!!!

Wow, what an exciting week! It's like the week before Christmas. The building is looking so good. I can't wait for the doors to open for all to come and see how good God is! Speaking of doors, the beautiful cross doors we purchased so long ago are being stained and they are beautiful. When you see those doors installed you will know the time is near.

While giving someone a tour of the building Sunday afternoon they remarked that it is simple, yet elegant. I liked that. It is clean and crisp and so worth the long wait. Soon the waiting will be over and we will enter into a time of great rejoicing. Praise be to God!!!

Almost as exciting is this week before the Holy Union. What some have tried to interpret as my having second thoughts is really my feeling like a kid the week before Christmas. I have no second thoughts. I am confident of the love Debbie and I share and I am so ready to make this commitment before God, our families and friends.

As I said Sunday, everyone is invited to the ceremony Friday, June 15th at 7:oopm. We only mailed invitations to a few people out of town so please do not think you are not invited....you are. The dress is casual, a reception will follow, and the gift of your presence is all that is needed.

Pray for the building, that the remaining work will be completed as scheduled...and pray for me and Debbie, that the plans we have made will go forth without obstacles. It's funny, I have performed so many marriages and Holy Unions and for the first time I understand the other side of the coin.

Here's to completion and commitment!

Congratulations on your Holy Union.
Marshall and I celebrate our 21st Anniversary this month. There has hardly been any days that we have not laughed together since we have been together. Humor is great for a relationship. Of course God is the most important.
Love in Christ,
