Disenchanted - A farity tale about love, marriage and the Kingdom of Self

          * I wrote this for the SECC Marriage Retreat 2011


Once upon a time there was a dashing prince who lived in the enchanted Kingdom of Self.

Once upon the same time there was a desirable princess who also lived in an enchanted kingdom called Self.

They did not live in the same kingdom, but in neighboring kingdoms of the same name, separated by the deep waters of Reality.

And so the story begins…

I Suggest Snow Worship

Please understand that my proposal to engage in snow worship does not mean that I am suggesting we all go on a pilgrimage to Michigan, make snowman gods and bring them back to large walk in freezers for their preservation and worship. Nor is it my attempt to introduce a more northern approach to Christianity by suggesting that snow and spirituality somehow go hand in glove. Worship has nothing to do with sun or snow, Michigan or Georgia, or even Jerusalem (see John 4). To understand my snow worship suggestion, a little personal story may be in order.

Christy and I began our illustrious marital journey breathlessly in love and broke. But when you’re floating on the clouds of matrimonial myopia, and all you can clearly see is the beloved before you, little things like money seem so unimportant…so, unromantic.
