Luanne and I are singing in a wedding tomorrow afternoon. Avisha Robinson is marrying Kenneth Mpemba, and the rehearsal dinner was tonight. Avisha and Ken took some time to thank just about everyone in the room after the dinner, and it was really touching. The most poignant moment (for me) was when she thanked her dad, Sean. I had to really fight hard to hold back the tears, and in the end I lost the battle. As I was gulping them back, I leaned over to Luanne and croaked out, "If I'm this way at Ken and Avisha's wedding, what am I gonna do when it's my kid?"
God, thank you for marriage; thank you for this beautiful picture of Your love for us and Your design for us. Please be watching over my kids as they grow, and may they be men and a woman who are satisfied fully in You. For their spouses, Lord, who may even now be out there... Protect them, grow them up in You, prepare them for great and wonderful things that You have planned for them. I'm so glad to know that all of this is in Your caring hands.
I love this picture of Zach and Emmy from around this same time last year. They were a little "bride and groom" in Tony and Wendy's wedding. So cute!
<Update> Weight Watchers was OK this morning. I'm not going to tell you how much I weighed. There's vulnerable, and then there's too vulnerable. I'll tell you what: After I lose all the weight, then I'll tell you what I weighed today when I started.
