Destin Wedding

Well, I have just returned from being at the most beautiful wedding I have ever attended in my life! Let me be about the quinzillionith person to say.......it's hard to improve on Mother Nature and what God has created. I was in Destin, Florida for the wedding of my nephew Patrick Cone and Lauren Cantrell. The ceremony took place on the whiter than white sands of Destin as the sun was going down on the emerald waters of the Gulf Coast. If heaven is an improvement on that, then I can't WAIT to get there. I have had a few surreal moments in my life, but this had to be one of the most vivid ones. It was like something out of a movie......a place so beautiful that it had to be computer enhanced. Ok, here is the kicker. The sky, beach and ocean were not even the most beautiful thing about the wedding. Without a doubt, the most beautiful creation present there that evening were the hearts of the two lovers getting married. God did something with those two precious kids that he didn't do with nature.....He BREATHED His life and breath into them and gave them a part of Him. The gleam of love in their eyes made the surroundings even more beautiful......and if you don't think that is possible, trust me......it is.

Congrats to Jimmy and Andee.....Steve and Lisa.....all the grand-parents.....and all the other relatives and friends. Thanks Patrick and Lauren for inviting all of us to your special day! What a gift that was!

Most of all, thank you God for the gift of Love.....and for loving us even though we make a mess of that gift so often.
