Things In My Bible 4
I felt it appropriate to share this with you today.
Paula and I were married right after we were commissioned as Salvation Army Officers. We were married in Louisville, KY. We flew out of Louisville to New Orleans for our honeymoon. Consequently, after we chose New Orleans for our honeymoon spot, we were appointed there for our first appointment.
We flew to Charlotte, NC to pick up our car to drive back to New Orleans to live. We would have to drive through Atlanta. Chad and Jessica were staying with her parents in Atlanta for their vacation. We gave them a call to see if they wanted to meet for lunch when we drove through.
We ended up staying overnight that night in Atlanta so we could hand out with our friends before we went to our new appointments. As we were about to leave, Chad (who is an extreme Georgia Bulldogs fan) put this cling (shown above) on our minivan. I didn't realize he had done it until we had arrived in New Orleans as we went to unload the minivan.
I couldn't bring myself to throw it away even though was a UK fan. It was a little reminder of Chad. I put it in my Bible and it has been there ever since. He put it on the minivan in July of 2000.
It is now April of 2006. The cling has since faded in color. We are a little older, wider, wiser, and in greater number, but we have not faded. We have vivid bright memories. Just about an hour and a half ago, Chad and Jessica and their kids left our place. They spent a few days with us. Great times!
I survived.
