The latest and the greatest.


I have not updated this blog in a while so I figured I was do. A lot has happened in that time, some good employment things, some bad employment things, making my own money (AKA the hussle) but the biggest of all, I got married. On June 12th I married my best friend, Morgan Paige. She's pretty awesome... No seriously. This woman has made me believe in myself more than I ever have. I have never felt more capable and more loved in my life than I do now, with this amazing Godly woman at my side.

The wedding was great. Apparently we offend a few people when Nate (the pastor and my close friend) spoke about obedience on the part of my wife. It sucks because that's probably when they shut off their ears and missed the part about how it is my job to hold it all together, love her like Christ loved the church to include giving my life for her, and that no matter the outcome of the situation, the weight will fall on my shoulders as the leader.

It bothered my for about .25 seconds until I realized that some people are going to hear what they want to hear, and that my marriage to my wife has little to do with them. We invited them to share in our joy and happiness at what the lord brought together.

No matter what you do, what you believe, how you live, what you say etc. there are going to be people who do NOT agree with you. That's totally normal.

The only thing that leaves me wanting more is that the people who were upset do not know the joy of an awesome marriage. Marriage is a Christian ceremony, always has been... Was it to much for me to want to involve God in something that his people have been doing for years? Sillyness... It's not like I am going to rush into a meeting of the PEGANS (people against goodness and normalcy.... you win points if you get that pun) and be upset because "they're doing it wrong!"

I realize that this very posting will entice certain people who read it to become upset or think im stupid for following Christ. Yup comes with the territory. To them I say... I know what it is to see it from your side of the fence. I used to live there too. Nothing has awaken my ability to love and be loved like knowing the One that first loved me.
