The Simple Wedding

Thanks David Underwood for this. It is so true and so many people are just totally unaware.

You guys watching Israel?!
They are preparing to build the third Temple!!
The Bible says the first time God destroyed the earth by water and he promised to never do that again. (The real meaning of the Rainbow) he went on to say I will destroy it by fire the second time. I won’t even pretend I understand all of the book of Revelation, but I do understand quite plainly that I do wish to spend eternity in Heaven. I have been hearing about the second coming of Christ and the events unfolding since I was a child. The "Mark of the Beast" Artificial Intelligence, microchips, no cash/digital currency, total government dependency/control. When we are raising a family, working long hours, some two jobs, lots of things go unnoticed or just get ignored. No one can comprehend how bad it will be, but we see it happening, bit by bit, on the news everyday. While the devil is preparing people for the Anti Christ, God is preparing people for the Rapture. I don’t know when the rapture will take place but I know that I’m not planning to be left behind when that trumpet sounds! I also believe right now that God is giving us a chance to turn our lives around and live according to His will. We need to get the Gospel message out! Until the good Lord calls me away from this world to go home, I want to make it clear that I believe in Jesus Christ as the one and only true Lord and Savior. Despite the fact that I am human, and I fail a lot, I believe that Jesus is the Son of God.

This is the best challenge I have seen on Facebook, so if the Holy Spirit moves you and you’re not ashamed, just COPY, and make this your status update. I’m a believer in God The Father, Jesus The Son, and The Holy Spirit Amen. ❤️

On Tuesday 02-22-22 I had the honor, the privilege and the delight of Officiating the wedding of my granddaughter, Sarah and her groom ,John.
The couple were transported from the Wedding Ceremony on Pompano Beach to their reception at the Brewery on Atlantic Blvd by Fire Truck, one of Pompano’s vintage Trucks driven by Rob Brantley, retired Pompano Fire Fighter who has been responsible for the restoration and care of the trucks for many years.
The ride on the vintage truck was appropriate for two reasons. John is a Firefighter with the Seminole Indian Fire Department and the couple live in the oldest house in Pompano, located near Pompano’s 1st Fire-station where the trucks are kept.
On behalf of Sarah and John I thank everyone who worked so hard to make this Special day a reality. Special kudos to Doris and Alan who pulled it all together admirably.

This morning was so very Special. I performed a vow renewal for a couple for whom I performed a Wedding Ceremony 17 years ago.
So happy that Kimberly took the time and effort to track me down.
Wonderful experience getting to meet their two children.
Congratulations Mike and Kimberly.

I have done so few ceremonies in the past year I feel like I need to relearn what I’m about.
Seriously, I did a vow renewal for a wonderful couple from MN yesterday. Early morning on the beach in Ft Lauderdale. Such a nice time together I totally enjoyed meeting them... lots of good vibes
Brenda and Dan were celebrating their 10th Anniversary by renewing their vows.

Weddings have been few and far between since we got shut down for the Chinese virus this spring. I was fortunate to be asked to officiate a wedding for a couple from Kentucky this past Saturday. It was initially scheduled to be a beach wedding but was moved inside and it was a good thing they moved it because it was raining pretty good at the time of the wedding.
My grandson accompanied me to the wedding and took a few pictures from the back of the room so I thought I would share them

Wow I finally did a wedding. First one in months. We met just before sunrise at Pompano Beach. Could not have been a nicer morning the weather was perfect and the sunrise was spectacular. The couple, Benjamin and Sarah are from Indiana and were delightful.
I thank them for calling me to do their wedding I hadn’t seen the sunrise in quite some time.
Sarah, my photographer/granddaughter did their pictures, on their phone so all was very casual very nice very enjoyable. Congratulations Benjamin and Sarah

I performed a nice Vow renewal ceremony yesterday for Joshua and Oxana. They chose Deerfield beach as their location just across the street from Embassy suites. it was a beautiful day quite windy but beautiful and their guest were all family members. When the two of them married 10 years ago Joshua was soon-to-be leaving to serve in the military.
Joshua said it was love at first sight when he first met Oxana and he knew she would be his wife.
I wish the two of them many many more years of happy married life and it was delightful meeting them and their family. Www.thesimplewedding.com
