Weddings, Life, bloating and a few other thoughts...

I was involved in a wedding Saturday...Chad and Nikki Rothford...Christy and I were able to get away for the weekend in Pismo and had a blast...the wedding was great...all the family and friends of the wedding couple treated us like they have always known us. It's nice to get to know other NorthPointe familes too.

We enjoyed sleeping in a bit...shopping...eating...and just being together for a weekend...we always comment when we are without our kids how much we miss them, but realize we need our time alone too...Isn't that a tough balance?

Christy and I met a former wherehouse student in SLO for lunch before she headed for fresno alone...Luke dropped me off in Morrow Bay to meet our pastors here for a vision casting retreat. Luke is a great young man of God...I appreciate his faith. Got to visit the Cal Poly campus and meet one of Luke's roomates. Man, I sure am glad I'm not in college.


Now I'm sitting here in MB waiting on the rest of the team to show up...looking at the ocean, morrow rock, just amazed at how beautiful God's creation really is...I wonder if people would recognize that more if we (as God's people) would live lives that were beautiful in God's sight more...not just going to church...but loving people like Jesus loves...not accepting sin, but loving people through their sin...or maybe I should say, loving people in spite of their sin. Anyway you look at it, it is our job to point people to him...so it begs the question: Where is your life pointing people? To God...away from God...are you growing in your relationship with him? Cause you are either growing or dying...which one is it? Be honest...
