At Last

My dear friend Ryan got married tonight. Matt and I were privileged to provide some music during the ceremony. Something must be said on this occasion but really, for once, I am speechless.

Happiness couldn't happen to a more deserving person.

God is a God of redemption, of second chances.

He loves to blow our minds with exactly the thing we've always wanted, the thing we want so desperately we dare not utter or mention for fear of jinxing it or watching it evaporate before our eyes. Such superstition has nothing on Him. He lives for this stuff. To see lives united and renewed in the promise of His presence and His help in good times and bad, sickness and health, for better or worse. What a blessing. Amen.
