28 Days

No, its not about that Sandra Bullock movie.

I get married in 28 days. Kinda startin' to weird me out. 2nite Morris, my Jap-Attack room-mate, while havin' a smoke on the porch started reciting wedding vows. Messed with my head. And I need to be working on my SIP.

It's not like I haven't been trying these last 9 months to behave like I think a Godly husband should. Trying to grow, adapt, and learn to love April in the best dang way I can guestimate I should. Its just that, hearing those vows and all that stuff suddenly made it feel a bit more...immanent?

Morris said vows are simply an expression of a commitment that already exists, a sign of something already real. Although this makes sense to me, imagining the act of saying them, of actually verbalizing the commitment before God and man: it was like getting punched in the gut.

28 Days. This is gonna be an intense month.

Oh man, I remember being there. I had the hitters all 28 of those days. And I had serious jitters those last 28 minutes. Marriage is the best thing in the world. May God rain down his gospel blessings on you and your soon-to-be bride.

Congratulations! Blessings to you and your bride-to-be.

I just checked my guestbook, and found your entry thanking me for the SARS posts - you're welcome :) Sorry for the late response, I haven't been keeping up with my website maintenance, I'm afraid - just the blog...
