2019 Tuesday — Celebrating

Fifty-four years ago this evening Mr. Fun asked me to go steady. I said, "Yes!" and that changed the course of our lives.

We were too young to realize we were starting a lifetime together. Three months and 10 days later, we were getting married.

The roadmap and the soundtrack of our lives have added lots of magic. Tunes and tours — both of those are things that memories stick to.

But better than the magic has been the miracle of God’s Spirit as Jesus walked right into our 10th wedding anniversary and turned the H2O of our lives into wine.

He spoke forgiveness, redemption, and purpose into our ordinary purposeless routines. He breathed wonder and mystery into the mundaneness of our existence. He promised to lead if we’d promise to follow, and He told us straight-up the road would be narrow and that we’d find few who would travel it. He let us know that if we would stay in His Word our faith would grow even when ugly fears were swirling around us.

Fifty-four years ago we had no clue of the highway our lives were entering. This has been an evening of reminiscing and pinching.
