Debi Smith's wedding. . . local response

I just returned from two days in San Jose, CA. San Jose is abeautiful city next to Fremont and San Francisco. It was our honor to officiate at the wedding of Wayne and Sheila's daughter, Debi. It is a lot of work for parents to put on a wedding 90 miles from home. Alas, the Smith's pulled family and friends together to pull it off. This is one part of being a minister that is fun, watching a new family form in front of your eyes. Seeing two young people trembling before God and the crowd as they pledge their love for one another.

The week of chaplaincy was uneventful, which is a good thing. Peace in the city of Modesto is always a good thing.

Pray for us as we attempt to put together a trip to Pascogoula. We will begin a planning process this week. 4 people are interested at this time. We will see what develops.
