Well today is like non-other. There has never been a day like it before and there will never be another day like it in the future.
In exactly one month I will be waiting at the end of an aisle for my lovely bride-to-be and we’ll leave the church hand-in-hand as husband and wife.
Wow. Who would have thunk it one year ago today? We didn’t even know each other then.
In fact, here are the things I was concerned about/writing about on March 28, 2006:
- Students protest – Students from Irving, Dallas, Plano and Mesquite ISD protested at City Hall for a 2nd day today.
The students were protesting new measures discussed by the House to make helping illegal immigrants a crime.
Many Hispanic leaders are asking the students to remain in school now, after two days of walk-outs and protest on Saturdays and Sundays. - Complete restoration – National Community Church recently completed the complete rehabilitation of an old diner in D.C. for a new coffee house and church location.
They’re getting great word of mouth advertising, but are also running the above ad in the April issue of the Hill Rag. The Hill Rag is the Capitol Hill newspaper. - Grace – Sitting at Tom’s funeral today brought one thought and one song through my mind the entire service. Grace. Tom was moved and changed by grace. I hope and pray that I continue to be. Christ came to save the world, not condemn it.
- Andrew Card resigns
So there you have it. Not a thought or glimmer of Laurie in my mind. I hadn’t even found encounter yet – which now gets it’s own category on my blog. My how things change. And yet – my how other things stay the same.
