James is Married

It was a perfect evening for a July wedding. The day before was hot, but July 30th in Polson, MT on Flathead Lake was exceptional. The day before we hosted a rehearsal dinner for around 50 people from the families as well as the out of towners.

The C&MA church in Ronan allowed us to use their fellowship hall where we had lasagna, salads, bread and fruit. Ron and Jessie Merwin were incredibly helpful to us. THANKS! Their hospitality was demonstrated in many ways and wound up saving us a ton of money.

Back to the wedding. The beautiful redwood deck was finished just days before on which the wedding party was to stand. People sat at tables while the bridesmaids sauntered up the aisles and up the log stairs to the deck of the log cabin.

Jonathan and David were groomsmen and came from behind the log cabin. The ceremony was short, with Bethany's long-time pastor doing the honors. I was able to give them a blessing and offer prayer for them. It was so very special.

Now they are in the mountains of Colorado enjoying the condo that Sharon's sister and brother-in-law are graciously providing for them. Then, drive back to Wheaton where James will work on his MA and Bethany hopes to find work. Pray for her to do so!

I knew for months that they were getting married. I saw them get married and knew the reality of it. But itwasn't until I saw the ring on James' hand that it clinched the reality of it all for me.

My little James is a married man.

Thanks for the prayers.
