Good Weekend, Great Friends

This weekend was my second Memorial Day weekend in a row spent in Michigan to celebrate the weddings of former roommates. And, as it was last year, this event was spectacularly fun!

Lindsey, John, and their families were fantastic hosts, the wedding was beautiful, the reception incredible (best mashed potatoes ever!), and the dancing nearly insane. Just as weddings in our crowd of friends should be.

My good friend Jessie has come to Chicago for the month of June to sing in an opera program, and was able to make the trip up to G.R. on Saturday to join the festivities. Everything is more fun with Jessie!

I was also able to spend a lot of time with my friends Stephanie and Devon, who were married last Memorial Day weekend in Michigan, and now live in Grand Rapids. They were fantastic hosts, for me and many of our other friends. Devon, as always, introduced us to some of Grand Rapids' great beers and brew pubs.

Accept, O Lord, my thanks and praise for all that you have done for me. I thank you for the splendor of the whole creation, for the beauty of this world, for the wonder of life, and for the mystery of love. Above all, I thank you for your Son Jesus Christ; for the truth of His Word and the example of his life; for his steadfast obedience, by which he overcame death; and for his rising to life again, in which we are raised to the life of your kingdom. Amen.
