SHANE--DEACON--TERRY
So we had this wedding last week of Ronny and Vicki Stewart. It was so fascinating with costume and setup since it was a take-off of The Princess Bride. Pictured on the left is our worship minister, Shane Coffman. Standing between us is the deacon over thermostats.
My attire was, shall I say, unique as one more way I find myself as a Cardinal.
Since Mary was in the hospital at the time and unable to attend the wedding, I decided to be funny and wear my outfit to St. Francis hospital. Well....I did make her laugh.
But before I got there, I called our daughter who was in town for her father-in-law's funeral to see if we might be coincidentally meeting at the hospital. She explained that they were headed there; but first were eating across the street at Pei Wei and asked if I would join them.
So I did.....in garb and all.
As we were leaving, a young mother stepped up to seek my prayers for her son. What an honor. I felt a bit sheepish, but such would not have happened if I was not in such attire. I shared with her that what I was wearing was a part of a wedding, but that I am a minister and will pray for William. And, I gave her my bubblegum card.
Even in the fun stuff, God seems to draw. Everywhere we turn, everywhere we are, everywhere there is absolute and complete God-need. Don't assume anything differently. We are always on call for the need for spiritual assistance is dominant, prominent, and extreme.
