I am officiating my niece's (actually my second cousin but like to think of her as my niece) wedding tonight. It should be fun, they are a very sweet couple, mid 20's, both from Montana, so family members from both sides have come for the wedding...many of my family members will be in attendance as well.
I actually like officiating weddings, whether they are people I know well or don't know at all...for me, it is an honor to be with people as they begin this season of their life. Last weekend I officiated a wedding for a couple I did not know. The week of the wedding the bride's mother passed. They had the memorial on Friday and the wedding on Saturday. They did such a beautiful job under very sad circumstances, it was a beautiful wedding. I think this is why I love pastoring, you get to be with people during the most intimate times of their lives, somehow I find Jesus there, right in the middle of these times...for me these are most holy, sacred times...

I like weddings also. They're holy moments, whether those getting married sense it or not.
I officiated a wedding last night - a couple I met through my brother's brother-in-law, out by Poulsbo on the water. It was gorgeous, and it was a really joyful experience. I wish I got to do them more often actually, even though they're really emotionally draining for me, meeting so many new people and making small talk.
No one would think that blogging can be so much fun. I have been posting for days now. It's fun to meet people. I will type in a random term with the word blog and there I am. Time to find another great blog. brighton purse should lead me somewhere. Take care.
