I have a new sister-in-law!! My second-oldest brother Jonathan, had the privilege of marrying the wonderful Sherry today. They are the happiest people in the world:
Here are my oldest brother David and me. Look how tall:
Yes, I caught the bouquet, but only because Sherry threw it right at me. Or I was the most desperate.

This morning I found I had highlighted this verse in my Bible, and I’m glad I did. I want to highlight it in my life too:
No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and God’s love is made complete in us.
—1 John 4:12 (NIV)
I like this verse [...]

I heard our pastor ask new members these questions, and I found them deep and true. I requested a copy so I could share them with you. That rhymed.
(emphasis mine)
Respecting divine mystery beyond our human knowing, revealed but not contained in the stories of our faith, will you strive to walk humbly with God?

Regina Spektor’s songs are good for contemplating in the winter.
I recently discovered Hem, whose songs are also suited for this season.
And I stumbled upon a beautiful, simple duet by Joshua Radin called “The Fear You Won’t Fall.”
There you go, download away.

but I’ve never questioned [...]

Here is the house where Robby and I met three years ago:
We met at an annual root beer keg party held at the college’s Spiritual Growth House. (Technically, three years ago that fell on September 16. But this year it falls on September 19, tonight.) Now he and four other guys live in this house, [...]

Tonight Robby flies back to Columbus, first going from Salt Lake City to Las Vegas, then from Las Vegas to Columbus. His total travel time will be about 5 1/2 hours, compared with the 26-hour road trip that took him here. I am not ready for him to leave. I wish we still had more [...]

In Salt Lake City, we found a restaurant called The Dodo.
I had Italian chicken salad on herbed focaccia bread. Robby had the dodo club, which was some kind of turkey sandwich.

We crossed the state line at 12:30 this afternoon (or 2:30 p.m. where our friends are, or 10:30 a.m. where my parents are).

Last night, Robby and I tried a local restaurant called Sanford’s Grub and Pub. On the menu was an appetizer called Rocky Mountain Oysters. The waitress informed us they were calf testicles. We had no choice but to try them. We had to have a claim to fame. We had to be adventurous.
Robby took one [...]
