this past weekend i had the privilege of officiating a renewal ceremony for our friends brian & jenni clayville.  i was truly blessed and honored to be a part of such a grace filled celebration & an eye opening weekend.

brian & jenni are living proof of a marriage that can withstand storms.  their love for each other & their love for God is something that is breath taking & renewing.  i thank God for brian, jenni & how they have impacted cathi & me.  i love them dearly & am grateful for their story.

the weekend was also filled with meeting people i had only known through the social media world but never in “real” life.  i was simply floored for quite a bit of time throughout the weekend. i never knew i would actually get to meet some of the people i had followed on twitter & other avenues of social media.

my friend, tam said it best, “none of this would have ever happened had we not met through social media.”  i wholeheartedly agree.  cathi & i would have never even moved to oregon had it not been for our friends through the social media world.

renewal is a word that sums up this weekend rather well. for brian, jenni & everyone else who was a part of this amazing weekend (live in person & on u-stream).
