Krispy Kreme Wedding Cake

So, I went to a wedding in Ohio this weekend. It was the wedding of some of my oldest, closest  friends. It was definitely an evening of contrasts. The wedding was in this very old, very beautiful, very traditional Lutheran Church but the reception was in a Modern Art Museum. Not only was the reception in an Art Museum but it was kind of a Movie Themed reception. But the best of all we the Krispy Kreme Doughnut Wedding Cake. Yep, you heard me right! In this museum of fine art we were all eating doughnuts. Crazy. I guess Krispy Kreme has a higher social status than I thought. Here is the proof!

Great Big Shoes

After I took this picture, I remembered a song my friend Dan Lance wrote a while back called "Great Big Shoes". I only heard the song once or twice but the title stuck out to me. Dylan had been walking around in my shoes all day that day. He tripped, he fell, he cried but always he got up. As some of us try to walk in the shoes of Jesus and live our lives as he did. We should never forget, that when we fall, to get back up and continue striving to take the next step. Because our father is waiting with open arms, just like I was waiting for Dylan.

My next post I promise to get off the soap box.

Marvelous Light

I never thought by wife would give birth to a break dancer. Oh well, I guess I better buy some gloves with the finger tips cut off.

Be Strong...Have Faith and Fo Bricks.

I had a pastors class this weekend, it was about 2 1/2 hours away from home.  It was a very interesting class, all about becoming a holy people. It was also about defining our faith as a denomination and how we get rid of horrible misconceptions. Very cool. And really, any chance you get to sleep on an air mattress it's a treat. Nope!

The picture at the top is a wall in the youth room at the church where my class was. I just thought it was the most encouraging fake brick wall I had ever seen.As we all know Graffiti and Fo Brick Walls are a youth room essentials. I wonder why that is? Maybe it's because the kids want to feel like they are livin the Thug Life. Never the less, the statement on the wall is very true and it encouraged me.
