The Gift of Marriage

On July 30th our brother Ethan took Heather to be his bride. These pictures are hijacked from someone's facebook album; hopefully I'll be able to show you better pictures later.

This couple is amazing. Heather is incredibly resilient and authentic. Love her so much and so blessed to call her my sister. Ethan is compassionate and driven. I was bursting with joy to see my little brother completely enthralled with his new wife. They have a special deep love for each other. Inspiring. Makes me want to praise our Heavenly Father for giving us the gift of committed marriage.

Hi friend! We like to hear back from you. -- Rachel & Drew.

Neighbors 邻居

“It may be possible for each to think too much of his own potential glory hereafter; it is hardly possible for him to think too often or too deeply about that of his neighbor. The load, or weight, or burden of my neighbor's glory should be laid daily on my back, a load so heavy that only humility can carry it, and the backs of the proud will be broken. ...

"There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations -- these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit. ...your neighbor is the holiest object presented to your senses.”

- C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory
