Toastings

So girls, this is a bit delayed. I wrote this on Sunday night after returning from Perdue's wedding. Enjoy.


My big moment arrived on Saturday afternoon as I stood in front of all of the guests of Perdue and Matt’s wedding.

The toast did so much more than honor Perdue, it changed the way I look at them as a couple. It is not just a couple, but a pair of people who are right. Right in the way they treat each other and love others.

Practicing my script over and over in the hotel bathroom made me think about how true my words really were. Basically, it was kind of like putting the cap on a bottle of healing. I was handed the bottle almost two years ago, and it started being filled with tears. Later attitude was added, then confession, then time. I hope to be able to pour out everything I have learned to others who need healing.

As I stood in front of all of the guests, I was so joyful for their union and for the grace God has given me to be joyful for them. And, I made Perdue cry…always a good sign.

Cheers! -bo
