From Genesis to Revelation




The Bible, an ancient and sacred text, begins its story with creation and a wedding. The Bible also ends with a new creation and a wedding feast. Beautiful bookends begin and end the story of God. Weddings are special. I have always enjoyed weddings and the symbolism that is ingrained within. There are many types of weddings. They range from grandiose to intimate. They can be arranged over a long period of time or held on the whim. Some last forever and some end quickly. Yet God meant for the wedding to show unity, companionship, and fellowship with another and with him.

Liz and I had the pleasure of attending a unique and special wedding, very different from ones we have attended in the States. Two of our friends in Colombia got married this past weekend in a quiet , intimate Spanish wedding. I couldn't help but think how amazing this rite really is and how grateful I am to have Liz. We enjoyed ourselves through the service, dinner, and dancing. It was truly a feast full of fellowship. Above, you can see Joy and her husband Raul who were wed that night. In the other picture you can see a beautiful woman, Liz, hanging on to her man of five and half years.

And God said it was good.
