I have never been asked to perform a beach wedding before. Last week, Jennifer, the kids, my parents and in-laws accompanied one of my dearest friends, Brian Carr and his now wife, Karen to the beautiful island of St. Thomas for the beach wedding at Magen's Bay.
On the island we had the opportunity to join together for one of the most memorable days of my life.
Brian is a dear friend, dating back to the days of middle school in Belle Vernon. Brian and I worked, played baseball and hung out on the weekends together. I was honored to have been asked by Brian and Karen to officiate this wedding.
One of the greatest joys is knowing that these two individuals, Brian and Karen have a saving relationship in Jesus Christ. This couple has put Christ first and foremost in their relationship. As a friend and as the pastor officiating this wedding, to know they love the Lord with all their heart, with all their mind and with all their strength brings me great joy.
As a family, we were able to share some of our greatest memories. Weeks prior to going, Aaron, our son experienced some great difficulty breathing, thinking and told by the pediatrician, asthma (It turned out not!). We were questioning if this would be a good trip. It turned out that the warm tropical air did him the greatest good! He came back with a tan, sandy blond hair and no cough or breathing trouble. Praise God for the time away!
Here's Aaron "living it up" on the beach. No signs of sickness there!
Thank God for the time away. A time to celebrate, refresh and gain our health back!

It is hard to imagine that somewhere in the world the sun is shining warmly and plants are green except in the Walmart home decor isle, where they are ususally in pots. Continued good health.
Is that breathing treatment covered by insurance?
No not this breathing treatment. My 80/20 became a 0/100.
Glad to hear you had a great time.
