Last night @ our married Care Group we discussed briefly chapter one of Dave Harvey's book, When Sinners Say I Do. One aspect about the chapter I want to apply is the simple fact that what we think about God is one of the most important aspects of our marriage. As Mari and I continue to read through 2 Chronicles, I wanted to learn about who God is so that my thoughts about Him would be shaped by His Word, not my subjective feelings. There will come a time when things will be hard, and I will have to believe that God is gracious, merciful, and faithful (2 Chronicles 30:9). If I can call to mind truths about God's character now, it will help my marriage with Mari by increasing my trust in the Lord. If you're reading this, thanks for sticking with me on how I process how to apply what I learned on Friday.
Moving on # 2 ... life with Mari has been great. Everyday I get to come home to this beautiful woman whom I do not deserve.
On Wednesday we went to Bonefish Grill because one of our friends gave us a gift certificate for our anniversary. This is the same place I had my bachelor party so it was cool to go there as a married couple.
On a different note ... lately at Church we've been going through a series on the Psalms: Real Help for Real People. The last two Sunday's I've been thinking about my friend Madonna who passed away last August. The reason I've been thinking about her is because every message has talked about living a life that exalts Christ no matter what our circumstances are. Madonna did this as she went through her battle with cancer. I thought to honor her memory I would put the "YouTube" video of her memorial slideshow:
