Betrayal

I was recently listening to an album by a man called Dustin Kensrue. He's the lead singer in a heavy metal band called Thrice, who are fairly popular both here and in the States. He has recently released and album of acoustic/country(ish) music and I was listening to it in the car on the way home from the gym.
I was struck by the second verse of the last song on the album:

"The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak;
I want to kiss your lips but I kiss your cheek."

I don't know if this guy is a Christian (one of his other songs says something like: "I've been with Susie, I've been with Sally, I've been with Mary and her sister too"?) but those lyrics are clearly based on biblical analogy.

I instantly identified with the sentiment.

How many times do we, despite wanting to "kiss his lips", betray Him like Judas and kiss His cheek?

My Brother's wedding... and that suit...

My brother's wedding was amazing! The best wedding I have been to ever! (I may be a little biased of course, and I am not including my own wedding cos that goes without saying!)

My brother composed and recorded the both the entrance and exit music and even managed to slip in a little joke as the music titles (Unfortunately only portuguese speakers would get it!)

They both looked so happy throughout the whole service. He hid his nerves well ;)

My dad and Emily's dad (Josh's father in law) conducted the service as they are both vicars, each carrying out the role specific to their child in the Anglican ceremony.

My favourite part though was the fact that once the actual marriage ceremony had been completed, Josh and Emily had communion together. They wanted their first meal as a married couple to be communion, so from their very first moments together as man and wife God is in the centre.

I have never been prouder to be part of my amazing family.

The speeches were also very good. He had 4 friends make speeches as he did not have a best man, and his own speech apart from including the usual thanks and gifts, etc included a very frank and honest declaration of his love for Jesus and a simple explanation of the gospel for anyone there who wasn't a christian.

At that point I realised that my little brother is actually very grown up...

And the suit? Well, it was a little tight around the middle but I just about managed to make it fit!
