The Refreshing Taste of the Rockies

Tonight, Chelsey & I take off for Denver, to be part of the wedding festivities leading up to the union between Josh and Emily Radcliffe (Was I the first to say that on the WWW?).   We are excited, not just to be part of the wedding party, but to get a mini-vacation out of Dayton.   It's been a busy few weeks, and sometimes, you just need a break.   It should be cool, refreshing time, surrounded by some very godly friends.

It's an honor to be able to be Josh's best man during the ceremony.  He and I have been doing life together, thru the sunshine and muck, for nearly a decade now, and to be able to be present in the moment with him Saturday is very special.   I have been reflecting a lot in the past few weeks on our history and brotherhood, and really can't describe it.   Josh has been one of the biggest change agents in my life for awhile now, behind maybe Christ & my wife.   I am a better man for our friendship.

This weekend is an answer to prayer from March of 2006, and living proof that there is a Redeeming God that loves us, and pours His Grace upon us.   Josh's faithfulness has been refreshing, encouraging, and powerful.... may the Lord Bless these two as they begin their lives together...
