wedding

My sister got married this weekend!

She is now officially a Molena instead of a Helt. Here's a picture of the couple a couple months ago. (I might have some wedding pictures someday...)

It's quite possible that this guy loves Jesus more than me, my family and all of my friends combined. Our first conversation was several hours long and consisted of him telling me all about Jesus. It was fantastic.

Congratulations, Amy and Andres!

are you unworthy?

That, I think, is the message of the first twenty-four verses of Luke 14.

Are you unworthy to sit at the table for the wedding feast?

If you are, then Jesus welcomes you.

it's official

I am way too old to stay up really late. I proved it a few weeks ago when I hit a deer at 4am and barely lived to tell and I proved it again this morning when I slept in and missed about 10 minutes of church.

Bad decision number one: deciding at 2am Saturday morning to drive to Indianapolis to rent a car.

Bad decision number two: sleeping for an hour at the airport waiting for the rental agency to open

Bad decision number three: getting home 3:30 this morning

Bad decision number four: deciding at 6:10 (after getting up and moving some clothes to the dryer) to go catch another 1/2 hour of sleep.

Result: Getting woken up by my sister at 7:45 (when I should have been there at 7) and failing to do my job as sound-man at the lake service...thus failing miserably at one of the few parts of my job that people see.

It's official. I can't stay up late all weekend and hope to do a good job on Sunday. So...I'm quitting.

No, not quitting the church. I'm just not going to be staying up like a maniac and trying to do the service on Sunday. Everyone'll either have to have their weddings over by a decent hour or have them during the week.
