conjectural navel gazing; jesus in lint form

kilts, bells, kareoke and topless toddlers

Well, all of the above could be found at Justin and Mae's wedding this weekend. It was a grand old time, glorious and warm in the summer heat of the Minnesota wood.

Does anyone have pictures posted yet? Si? Fiona? Everyone looked great, but I have to say that this is one time that the groom may have shown up the bride. The bride's dress was fabulous!! Kate did an incredible job. Kudos. But the novelty of the full Scotish regalia...21' of wool pleated and folded and draped...and not a stitch involved...incredible.

So, I am back in Chicago with much to do. I have one more resume to send out. This is a good thing. There may be an opportunity at a local urban ministry center. Helping the homeless, counseling, some handouts etc...and two worship services a week. It would allow me to stay in Chicago, work in full-time ministry and continue to help grow Reconciler. This is all good stuff.

As for now, I must type. I have to write for my competency paper. Certification awaits.

Thanks be to you O God
that I have risen to this day
To the rising of this life itself.
May it be a day of blessing,
O God of every gift,
A day of new beginnings given.
Help me to avoid every sin
And the source of every sin to forsake
And as the mist scatters
from the crest of the hills
May each ill haze clear
from my soul O God.
