Intersections
One of the fun parts of a wedding is that it provides an intersection for many disparate relationships. There are not many times in one’s life when so many different avenues gather and meet at one event. It is the locus of relationships familial and friendly, local and long-distant, old and not so old. And this is true transgenerationally.
It would be fun if there were more time to introduce strangers who have much in common. Just a few:
• the pastor with my older brother who have both taught Logic classes at Classical Christian schools
• my niece who has spent time in Zambia with my friend who grew up in Zimbabwe
• my nephew starting fire school with my friend who is an experienced Hot Shot
• a dear friend who walked through the deep waters of cancer & my siblings who faithfully prayed for her
I want the people I love to meet the other people I love.

Which two friends would you love to introduce to one another?

Only a few short days…..until you have this opportunity to witness and bear testimony. I hadnt thought about specific people, as you have mentioned. But I have pondered and prayed about the disparate group we are gathering. Between the Bridesmaids’ Luncheon, rehearsal dinner, out-of-towners brunch,
and reception, I should have lots of chances to *pair* people.
Basically, my desire is that they all *hear* the gospel message in the marriage ceremony, witness my child’s vows, and recommit themselves to God-honoring marriages/relationships.
All my chicks are back around the dinner table now, as we retrieved the last one from the airport yesterday. It should be a whirlwind for the next two weeks.
