Ok, I am in Richmond right now staying overnight for a 7 AM flight out to Boston (should arrive around 8:41). I am returning on a 2:00 PM flight that should arrive back at 3:41 on Monday afternoon. Just pray that the flight is safe. I am going b/c one of my best friends is getting married and he asked me to be in his wedding, so pray that the wedding goes smoothly as well.

And thanks to everyone praying for my other situation with the hives as well.

Be careful up there--and getting there. I hear there's a real problem with a phenomena known as "WALK OFFS" this time of year.

I'm back...and it was a great trip. Traffic wasn't too terrible. The wedding was just great. There was one less groomsmen than bridesmaids, so one lucky guy got to escort 2 of them...and yes, I was that lucky guy :D . Pictures coming soon to Facebook (yeah thats right...as if I didn't have enough pics of me with women on there already :lol: ) The pastor delivered an awesome message with the ceremony, about the difference between Joy and Happiness...and then at the reception Jason followed up with a few words about how his passion was for all there to come to Christ, it was really beautiful.

The reception was awesome...I danced till I dropped (yeah thats right, I said I DANCED-WHAT NOW JERRY? :P -one request, don't turn this thread into a debate about dancing or Liberty's rules...I'm just havin a bit of fun). When they announced the wedding party, they had a red carpet leading up to the head table and the DJ announced us like we were at the Academy Awards.

Anyway, while we were there we got to tour Boston, and its a much nicer city in summer than winter. And I was blessed to be able to hang out with Jason's family for the entire time...that was a far greater blessing than had my original plans worked out for me to stay with a friend, so major praise there.

Oh-and one other thing...Yankees are the DUMBEST CREATURES EVER (aside from the Medic due to inconclusive evidence-the machine broke while trying to compute the results of his IQ test :P )...at least 5 or 6 people a day from Boston/New England asked the people I was with if they were from England b/c of their accents...the people I was with were from Charlotte, NC and all had major SOUTHERN accents.

Dude, you're the last person that needs to talk crap about people. I'm not even going to touch the jokes on you and people from the north.

I'm creating a thread for this so we don't mess up a Chapel thread

Thank you all for praying...after flying home on Tuesday and then watching whats unfolding in Britain, I'm just amazed at God's protection and the timing of catching those guys.

Yes, thank God!

Nicole C. Mullen sang at the Willow Creek Leadership Summit last week and was excellent. Some of you may know her best as the one who sings the Larryboy theme song.
