Rosanna and I were successfully and beautifully married on Saturday, September 16th, in Carson City, NV. We honeymooned in Lake Louise, Alberta, CAN. We came back to Reno and packed up her things. We flew to Oklahoma for a few days for a local reception as well as packing up my things.
At the start of October, Rosanna and I traveled up to Fridley, MN, and quickly got moved into our new apartment and started attending Bethlehem Baptist Church. We are trying to get into a small group, and I have to say after this past week’s small group, I know with all my heart that this is where God wants me to be. I am touched deeply by the grace of my God to put me into the fellowship of other broken people, other “good monsters” who don’t hide behind self-righteous masks but are honest about their sinfulness.
Oh, that’s such a sweet thought. There is little else I find sweeter than being in the company of other people who aren’t afraid to talk about their sins, but are… sad when they do. There is such possibility for real growth and help when this happens. I want to talk more about this sometime.
The “good monsters” reference above is from Jars of Clay’s new album that came out last month. We tried to go hear them tonight, but they were sold out. Instead, we bought the album and listened to it while we did something else instead. There’s a rawness to this album that I really, really like. You might read the article I linked to. I can identify with Haseltine.
Anyway, we got internet, some new cell phones (email me to get my new number!), and are almost totally unpacked. I’m going to the Apple Store at the Mall of America tomorrow for a job fair I was invited to attend. Target is also interested in me, but we’ll see what comes of either very soon.
Feel free to drop me a line, and if you lack any of my contact info, just offer a comment and I’ll get back with you. :o)
Hey!! Notice the timestamp for this entry (most particularly how it relates to the DATE)? ;)
