I have the great privilege of playing the piano for some dear friends as they join together as one on Saturday in Moorpark, and the greater joy (and fright) of giving them the gift of song. I was asked to play something that I have written for the bridal party's processional, and so I wrote something new. We'll see... maybe someday arranged for orchestra, but nevertheless, still kind of fun to have written official wedding music now. This has been a summer of "experience", let me tell you. It's been good, and amazing to see how the Lord specifically provides in amazing ways to be better equipped for what He is leading me towards in the future. To Him alone be all the glory!

Also, if one has not already done so, one must read War of Words: Getting to the Heart of Our Communication Struggles by Paul Tripp and Not Even a Hint by Joshua Harris. Both are incredibly practical and biblical resources which have challenged me this summer. Be warned, however: they will rock your world.
