Updates

Wedding planning's been going well. At least I think so. We're still moving at warp 9. Let's get down to the recent nitty gritty top 3.

1) We're basically assured of our ceremony location. Waiting for the senior pastor there to give us the ok. He's away right now so we play the waiting game. When we asked about the possibility of using the place on our day, we were told that everything checked out and that we just needed to send in the appropriate paperwork.

2) We're getting the help. Wedding coordinator, officiant, photographer, bridesmaids, groomsmen, travel agent, are either booked or chosen! Sorry guys, if I didn't call you yet about being a groomsman, chances are you're not gonna be one. Have no fear! There are still openings at the gift table or clean up crew.

3) Presents. We're now officially registered at Macy's and Williams-Sonoma. We're not done yet, but you can see what we've chosen so far on their respective websites.


Ordination stuff. I'm having a hard time seeing how knowing the answer to the question, "Who are some prominent members of the "Holy Club?" helps me become a more effective minister but I'm chugging along with the polity class. Maybe the class will pick up as time goes on. Meanwhile I'm having flashbacks to Februarys in the Richmond Unified School District. Well, except that the answer to "Who was the greatest man who ever lived?" is no longer Martin Luther King. In this polity class, the greatest man is Jesus, but a very close second is John Wesley. It seems like the answer to any question is John Wesley. If there was a question asking who invented the railroad in my polity assignments, I just might be tempted to write down "John Wesley." And while John Wesley certainly contributed a great deal, I find it hard to believe that he was as great as these polity books make him out to be.
