A Religious Experience

The whole weekend was one big religious experience. Ashley and i headed down to Charlotte on Friday evening. We dropped Eli with my mother-in-law (he got a haircut this weekend). We continued on to Concord. We went with Kelley on Saturday morning out to BloodBath & Beyond to get part of our wedding gift and then off to Karmen's wedding.

Karmen and Nate have been dating for about 7 years and the ceremony and reception was very fancy. It was held at the Ballantyne Resort in South Charlotte. The ceremony was outside on the lawn. Our minister, Ron, performed the ceremony, there was a string quartet, and the rain held off until 5 minutes after we all got inside. They had amazing cocktails and then a lovely dinner. The live band was really great. They were very good and they covered a lot of very popular tunes that were great for the dancing. There were about 20 of us there from ARPC out of the 300. We got to hang out with Katie Blackwelder and Maggie and Erik Blackwelder and Emily Troutman, plus Rob and Donna Chambers.

On Sunday, i preached at ARPC and Jason and Ben were able to make it down to see me. The sermon might be available online at ARPC's website. i may post it on here later.
