Great Words from Great Men

"Grace substitutes a full, childlike and delighted acceptance of our need, a joy in total dependence. The good man is sorry for the sins which have increased his need. He is not entirely sorry for the fresh need they have produced."

C.S. Lewis, "The Four Loves"

"Abiding in Christ is simply weakness entrusting itself to a Mighty One to be kept--the unfaithful one casting self on One who is altogether trustworthy and true."

Andrew Murray, "Abide in Christ"

"If Jesus ever gave us a command He could not enable us to fulfill, He would be a liar; and if we make our inability a barrier to obedience, it means we are telling God there is something He has not taken into account."

Oswald Chambers, "My Utmost for His Highest"

L.A., here I come!

Well, not quite yet. I will be moving there in August and starting a whole new life. Figuring out marriage, a new city and state, campus ministry...it might be a bit overwhelming. In the meantime, I have a lot of preparing to do. I really want to take advantage of the time I have left here in Austin (and Texas), so if you're reading this...want to go out to lunch sometime?

Wedding Stuff

My Knot

I plan on updating this site with more info for those of you interested or coming to the wedding. Stay tuned.

Engagement Pics

Fun pictures taken by none other than our very own Julie Hurst. Check out her other stuff, too. It's good.

4x as much, seriously?

I'm planning a wedding right now (which is totally NOT up my alley). I haven't been dreaming about this since i was 5 years old. It's more like I've been dreading it since I realized all that is involved. Don't get me wrong...I'm very excited to get married and I think the wedding can be fun. I just hate planning stuff, spending money, etc. And I'm learning to hate the wedding industry even more. There are plenty of examples of how people take advantage of brides by jacking up the prices on stuff, so I thought I'd share my most recent find from Candy Haven.

Regular Cake = $1.00 per person
Wedding Cake = $4.25 per person

Is the wedding cake really that much better or more difficult to make? I think not.
