she's gettin' married in a fever

So there's a rare, yet special, occurrence in my schedule this week. A wedding in Minnesssoota. The high forecast for the 20's and don't forget your hats folks, for there is at least a 20% chance of snow for 3 out of the 5 days we are there! For someone who likes the snow like myself...when the temperature is in the negatives, shut man, that's too cold.

Marriage..that's another thing. Spending the rest of your life with someone - FOREVER - it will always be that person you will lean on, ask for advice, kiss goodnight & good morning. To the secular world this is an extremely frightening thought. But to Catholics, it is a beautiful sacrament and a union between man, women & GOD. So while my friends are very young, they've been dating for over 3years now, and must just trust. That's really the scariest part of all relationships: letting go of your own will and just trusting God that this is the right person for you. (And trusting him to let you know when its not.) For most of us, Catholic or not, just as humans..if we're not ready to let go of that string before we tie the knot; that's why there's prayer.
