Tonight my husband performed quite possibly the most amazing wedding ceremony EVER (second to perhaps the one in Cana circa. 30 A.D.). It was brilliant -- humor, sobreity, reality and eschatology. He told them upfront "You don't have a clue what you are getting youself in to" and as everyone laughed, drew them a poignant picture of how Evan and Ellen stand today as a symbol to us pointing to the wedding of the Lamb and the age to come. If they recorded it, we should give out the CD's -- it was really that good! He spoke from Song of Solomon and the book of Revelation - the perfect wedding duo!
Our new friends Caleb and Jenny Powell provided the ceremony music and it was equally brilliant! They are amazingly talented. I am so excited that they will be on the new IHOP compilation project! Wahoo! Anyway, we got to sit with these lovely folks at the reception and had a fabulous time talking converted diesel engines, the physics of butter floating and the end of the age. They are quickly becoming some of my very favorite people.
We leave our fair city tomorrow morning and fly back to Kansas where Toto is waiting. Being in Cincinnati this weekend has felt like coming home. We had Skyline and UDF.....even tried out a new tea room in Mason. But most of all, it was just good to be with friends who are family. We spent hours over coffee the last few days just being and pondering with comrades. I miss them. I want to help build the house of prayer here. I want to travail with them, hear from God with them, laugh until I bust a gut, read a book by the fire - whatever. I love you all in Cincinnati!!!
