Married

I know that many will be checking the blog, so here is a quick update.

Carol made it to the wedding! In fact, she even read Scripture from her seat in the front pew of the church. Speaking from nearly 49 years of marriage, she read Ephesions 4:24-34 from The Message. It was a major effort, but absolutely wonderful. After the wedding, several told me that they "went through all of their kleenex". The wedding was beautiful with special humor and flair that was typical Justin and Laura. Possibly Carol will be up to writing more about that later. She is the real writer, so I will suggest it to her when she is stronger.

We were so pleased that two of Carol's brothers and wives from out of state were able to attend, along with all of our children, grand children and many friends and other family members. Her attendance was a big wish for Carol, and we are so thankful that the Lord gave her the strength to participate in this joyous event.

Presently everyone is at the reception, and Carol and I are back at the house getting some much needed rest for her. The challenge will be to build up the necessary strength to make the trip back to Charlotte, hopefully on Monday to connect with our medical people and lay out plans for possible future treatment. This is not expected to be an easy task, so we will appreciate your prayers.

As the ceremony ended, the words of "To God be the glory, great things He has done" rang in my thoughts, and I joined the other wet-eyed attenders exiting the church.

Love to you all,

Chuck...and Carol too
