Going to the Abbey and They're Gonna Get Married

Top of the mornin' to ye!  Yes, indeed I was up and ready to spectate at 2:57 a.m.  I truly have an affection for all things British.  I guess I was too loud because Molly came bounding in around 4:00ish.  I didn't have the heart to make her go back to bed since this is a once in a life time event.  I moved in her table and we had tea and cake to celebrate.  It truly was a lovely service.  I appreciated the charge that was given. Kate's brother read Romans 12:1,2,9-8 which I had never heard used in a wedding but thought it was a great choice. " Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what the will of God is good and acceptable."  Molly had trouble understanding the accent of the Dean and thought that he said, "Harry Ghost" instead of Holy Ghost.  When she saw him on screen she said "Holy Eyebrows!"  See pic and you'll understand.  The girls in our house, dog included, wore hats and crowns.

Inwood Bank was host to a lot of our staff and their spouses for the Ranger game last Tuesday night.  We got to sit in a box overlooking home plate.  There were hot dogs, brisket, a big salad, popcorn, cobbler, and ice cream.  It was fun to visit and root, root, root for the home team.  I found the Icee kiosk with 20 flavors of Icee (ex to the ci ting!) John 10:10 says," The thief comes to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it in full."  I am thankful that Christ not only provides eternal life, but abundant life immediately overflowing with forgiveness, love and guidance.

Victory in Jesus!

Victory in Jesus! My Savior forever, He sought me and bought me with His redeeming blood!  There were a lot of Victories this weekend.  Mainly the victory was Jesus redeeming us to have abundant life.  There were 5 services at our church, 16 baptisms,300 people participated in the Gethsemane project, and The Big Give.  For this weekend, our church took all of the offerings given from the last 5 services and called it the Big Give because the church is giving all of the money brought in this weekend and giving it away for missional purposes none of the money will go for the church's daily needs and now there was $87,000 given.  So to God be the glory, great things He has done.
Our family had little victories too.  Molly rode her bike without training wheels, Rook won his football game, he pulled his first molar tooth, Kris spoke 5 times, and I wrestled with our kids and their friends in the pews for multiple services. Whew it has been a busy weekend.  Jeremiah 9:24 says, "Let the wise man boast about this; that he understands and knows Me. that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth for in these I delight."
