    A long time coming!!! :)

    Well,
    I was just reminded by a friend of mine that I have not updated my blog in a long time.  I have found that I have a lot less time these days that I used to :).  For those of you who haven't heard, I was married on August 3rd of this year!  Let me be the first to say that marriage is such a huge blessing!  My wife and I have been reading this book called "A Sacred Marriage" and in it somewhere it says (I'll paraphrase)  "Marriage doesn't bring problems...it just exposes them"  How true that statement is.  I have found in my first three months of marriage that I am a very selfish man...and a sinner at heart.  Living selflessly has thus far meant living selflessly for about 12 hours a day...and living 12 for my-self.  Marriage doubles that requirement and I have found that I am pretty selfish and stubborn and sometimes downright rude.  But my wife is patient and I am slowly getting better at this :)  Tom Nesbitt said in our pre-marital counseling that "God intended marriage to make you holy...not necessarily happy"  and that marriage is God's holy sandpapaper for our character.  How true this is.  I absolutely LOVE being married...but it is not a cake walk by any means.   So far it has proven to be a sancitifaction accelerator in my life :)  Tara would probably say the same.
     
    For those of you who are interested in seeing pics from the wedding...check them out here :)  Yep...she makes me look good :)
     
     
    If you're interested in checking out "The Light" (Cornerstone's post-college ministry) sometime...here's a link to the web-site with the downloadable teachings...fun stuff! 
     
     
    This morning I was reading in Isaiah and came across the verses below....it is so so encouraging that I am included in the group of "foreigners" He describes in chapter 56.  Praise the Lord for being a God for all the nations!  His desire is that ALL nations...ALL tribes...ALL tongues would come to know His greatness!  Let me be one of many saying loud and at the top of my lungs...the God...the High and lofty one...He who lives forever...whos name is Holy...He alone is God and He alone is good!!!
     
     
    Isaiah 56:3-7
    3Let no foreigner who has bound himself to the LORD say, "The LORD will surely exclude me from his people." And let not any eunuch complain, "I am only a dry tree." 4 For this is what the LORD says: "To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, who choose what pleases me and hold fast to my covenant- 5 to them I will give within my temple and its walls a memorial and a name better than sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that will not be cut off. 6 And foreigners who bind themselves to the LORD to serve him, to love the name of the LORD, and to worship him, all who keep the Sabbath without desecrating it and who hold fast to my covenant- 7 these I will bring to my holy mountain and give them joy in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations."

    Congratulations Brad!
    I looked at your wedding photo's and they did a Beautiful job.
    Your right about being married. I thought I was a pretty good guy until I got married at age 40 and then I found out how imperfect that I really am. It's kind of a humbling expirience and takes some time to get adjusted to this whole new kind of life.
    Having kids takes even more of an adjustment as it takes up alot more time, but it is also one of the greatest joys in life.
    Hope you have a Great Day and a Wonderful Marriage.
