Merman Drew & Mermaid Tina

To perpetually honeymoon wherever their special brand of Christian grace and blessings can be used to the fullest, whether at a romantic rendezvous or a needy mission.

How blessed Burgi Dad and I felt to attend this remarkable young couple's faith-filled wedding held on June 28, 2003 in the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens of Sarasota, Florida, USA. As we walked to the site designated for the wedding, we delighted in the extensive Dr. Suess-ian floral marvels of every shape and size, pointing out one fantastic potential GX site after another... and another and another! As we waited for the ceremony to begin, neither heat, humidity, nor even dining 'skeeters fazed us -- we'd certainly endured much, much worse than these tame versions. <>< However, all thoughts of GXing flew out of our minds as we witnessed the humility in Drew's bowed head as he waited for his bride to appear... the radiance in Tina's smile of welcome and love for her groom... and his answering smile lighting up his whole face... heard the blessed words of Scripture and those of this young couple's faith-filled vows of love and service to both the world and each other... blinked at an intimate exchange as she wiped away a tear of joy and whispered she was so happy... no amount of applause was enough for this brand new Mr. and Mrs.! <>< Living a life of love, laughter & service, our Merman Drew & Mermaid Tina perpetually honeymoon, travelling both the world's most romantic places as well as the world's neediest missions, spreading their special brand of Christian grace and blessings. Our young friends Drew and Tina can do no less, and certainly much, much more. <>< Knowing we've previously offered a portion of a Scripture reading they used in their ceremony (1 Corinthians 13:4-7), let us toast them with one more: "The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such, there is no law." <>< Galatians 5:22-23 <>< Enjoy His many fruits in your life together, Drew and Tina. <>< Love, Kathi and Dennis
