They're married!

May 23rd, I got to perform my second wedding as a Minister of the Gospel. Our middle child was the first of our three to marry, and I got to perform the wedding!
I was fine until I was giving the vows to my daughter, and I looked up at her face, for her to repeat after me. Then I choked up for just a minute, and then I was able to recover command of myself and finished the ceremony with out further ado. She was a radiant bride, and he was a proud groom; they made a happy couple!
None of it would have been possible if it were not for the labor and love of church members, friends, and family. Thank you to one and all. You made everything wonderful! Some debts can never be repaid, and this is one of those debts of love and gratitude.
Now she has to go back to work, and he has to find a new job! Honeymoon’s over! Actually, here’s wishing the happy couple many, many more happy honeymoons. We are celebrating our 35th honeymoon this October 16th. Happy and blessed us!
We are doubly blessed, because our other daughter was in a wreck in her Chevy S-10 pickup with an 18-wheeler in Jonesboro, AR, on May 31st. She had stopped at a yield sign as cross traffic went in front of her. Seeing a break in the traffic, she started into the right lane, because she thought the 18-wheeler was in the left lane; he apparently was not. The truck hit her at the wheel and driver’s door, sending the little pickup about 100 feet off the road, over a ditch, and almost into a parking lot. The trucker said that he had no place to go when she pulled out in front of him. I think he was probably speeding, and may have, in fact, changed lanes to take the same break in traffic she was pulling into.
She was emotionally shaken at first; afraid we would be mad at her, and terrified of the policeman (She ws not cited by the policeman), but basically okay otherwise. She did crack a rib (we think) and her neck was sore the next day, so we made a visit to the doctor for x-rays and for pain medicine and a muscle relaxant. She went to work that day, after filling out all the police reports, and rented a car the next day to drive herself to and from work (she really did not want to miss work!). The insurance people say the S-10 is totaled, so she’ll be buying a new vehicle soon! The bottom line is that she is getting better, is not afraid to drive, and is moving on with life. Praise the Lord!
