on putting faces with names

Last Sunday I was in Dacula, GA, at Grace Baptist Church. Pastor Dave Wood is on the left, an old acquaintance from Greenville days long past. Next is Andy Efting, an on-line friend I have looked forward to meeting in person.

Next to Andy is my soon to be daughter-in-law and next to her (and somewhat obscured by my younger son) is my oldest son, the one who will be married tomorrow. [I am doing the ceremony!]

My son and soon to be d-in-l serve in this church as student trainees and general gophers. When Duncan graduated from BJU last year, I asked him to find a church where he could serve and learn and ‘get out of Greenville’. That is not to say that I have anything against the good churches in Greenville, but I want them to get out of the ‘orbit’ and in a more normal church environment for the purposes of preparation for future ministry. The church in Dacula fills the bill.

The rest of the picture are my other kids and me. My wife was unable to make it to the service because of family needs in Tennessee, but made it down to G’ville the next day…

I am in kinko’s printing out the last of my tweaks on the wedding ceremony… just 13 hours from now (it is 1 am!! Am I nuts or what?) [Don’t answer that…]
