It's the little things that matter. At least that's what my grandma or mother (or someone) used to tell me when I was a kid. We are completely broke right now. What's new. but driving to work on Saturday last week, I won tickets to Six Flags and a Jeremey Camp concert on the radio. I think I have to ride the roller coasters by myself. God is good-all the time.
The good is it's the three of us going. The bad is it's just the three of us going. Julia asked 3-4 girls she knows if they wanted to go and no.... I really wish she had a good friend. I hope when we move we find one for her. she has acquantances. That's all well and good, but no one she can call. I thought one of the kids from our minichurch group was going to be a good fit. I'm still not sure. Pray that Julia (and Brandy both) find a good friend soon.
On another note, we watched License To Wed with Robin Williams last night. Hilarious movie. I recommend it to anyone especially married or about to get married couples. In the movie, the priest makes the couple take his marriage course. With everything that happens, he basically makes them get into a big fight and break up. That way they can see if marriage is really what they want.
I was talking to another pastor one day. In one of his pre-marriage counciling sessions he had an emergency and had to leave. On the spur of the moment, the last thing he said was "now think about this....look at the other person and realize marriage is long term and you will be with this person in 50 years." He said they broke off the marriage. They realized it was not a good idea. Since then he has used that line every time.
After the movie, Brandy and I started thinking about the time together before we got married. I can't remember much. just little snippets. I think that's the way it's supposed to be. If you focus on the past and can't move to the future together, you will will be strangled by it and not be able to move on together.
Don't let the past hurt your future life together. The time together is precious just like the time we have with God. Make the most of it. And always ride the roller coasters :o).
