I started off the day officiating a wedding. It's been a long time since I've stood before a crowd and spoke. I managed to get through before the wheels shot off. It was a great ceremony because of the kids involved. The bride and her family have been active at Fellowship for years. I worked with her Mom on staff. Lauren spent several summers working at Alasso Ranch, FC's camp in East Texas. Chris Key, one of the band guys during that era of camp was shooting the wedding and Analise Bush sang with her band Aprilemade. Analise was one of the singers at camp for several years. Rachel Jessup was in the wedding, newly married to a guy she met at Allaso. She's also pregnant with her first child.
I felt like a Dad to all these kids and I am so proud of the men and women they've become. They have first and foremost chosen to follow Jesus since they were young kids. And it's paid off for them. God has blessed them greatly.
I've been goofing around with art websites like Paper 53 for IPad. It's a lot of fun, it's free and you don't need anything but a finger. I've posted some stuff on Twitter @pmitchell. I'm not smart enough to get it on my blog.
To all my friends and family in the military and to all of you who serve our country every day, thank you for your sacrifice and your service. I can't help but think of my uncle who was captured, imprisoned and killed in a North Vietnamese POW camp in Laos in 1962. Memorial Day is all about remembering those who gave the ultimate sacrifice!
Happy Memorial Day!
