📌📌📌📌Cycle 2: The church wedding. Revised
While both anxiously
Nervously
And stressful waiting for you with my best man Ryan to come down the aisle
And meet and join me in the front of the sanctuary
Side by side
God officiating
To bless and consecrate our union
Before our family
Before our friends
And before the hosts of heaven
By following her own personal yellow brick road like a real life Dorothy from the wizard of oz not to find her great wizard oz to find her way back home to Kansas but to find me and our future home together:
Remembering cherishing the love you Wanda freely blessed me with putting the broken pieces of me (like a human Humpty Dumpty and unlike the nursery rhyme where he had a great fall-As you can tell I had many great falls…)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humpty_Dumpty
not only she alone in all heaven and earth could put me together but she did it more better-
Reminding of this show growing up …,
And accounting for today’s inflation you made me into the billon dollar man.,,
Then When I saw you coming down the aisle
All I can see was you;
And that moment I first saw you you were transformed into my Cinderella
and this Cinderella you Wanda was not a make a believe character in a fairytale made up of words and pictures but a Eve made of flesh and blood living in real space and time-given life and existence by the breath of God and made in His image…
And at that moment I first saw you as well you
-you come down the aisle like a field of dreams experience
God behind the scenes of my life
Whispering
Into the ears of my heart and soul and mind
In my case it was she will come-and that she was you Wanda-
A angel from heaven-
Bright and dazzling
Yes and yes and infinite yeses you took my breath away:
At that moment Wanda As I saw you coming down the aisle
I repeat again and again Wanda
All I can see was you
Everybody else became like:
At that moment Cupid let out another barrage of:
Like these superhero’s:
Which became these songs that burned forever in the very fabric of our minds,hearts and souls:
Spanish:
Spanish:
Becoming Not a weird science experiment of my mind and wishful thinking or unfounded hope:
Becoming Not my modern Frankenstein only real in my thoughts and dreams that only give it a semblance of life:
And not authenticating Macbeth as my Biblical prophet
Professing from the Very mouth of God a infallible prophetic utterance and description of my life what it is
What it was
What it will be
And how it ends:
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this trivial pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time.
And all our yesterdays have lighted
The way to dusty death for fools. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
In light of this wonderful revelation
These cultural icons
These songs
These videos
These words
Or this word
(I borrow and in my creativity I see where they can fit)
Represents
Are symbols
I hammer into the shapes
Alone forging them with spiritual fire from my soul,mind and heart:
A human Prometheus using the tool of
Mind mapping in the act of creation
Are coordinates on Our treasure map
Giving us directions to these Kodak moments:
Of where we hid them them in the depths of our minds and hearts:
So they can be memorialized and dwell solely in our hearts
Be triggers
Be As launching pads
For our precious moments
To either be expressed by me point blank
Or by my God given creativity
For her heart
And my heart
To treasure and times be of comfort
Of nostalgia
A suit of armor and banner when sin the world and devil besieged our personal garden of eden
A hospital to heal our wounds
Our physician to diagnose and treat our sicknesses
A shield and a shelter from life storms to seek refuge and safety in….
Living memorial markers
To our first contact
Our first kiss
Our dating
Our courtship
Our marriage
And our only family…
(Psalm 127:3 English Standard Version (ESV)
3
Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
the fruit of the womb a reward.)
Forging them
Empowering
Engraving
And inscribing them
(Gee reminds me of this movie)
into this wedding ring I will place on your wedding finger…
As two lives become one brand new life
I Took a chance and Faced the fierce winds of rejection,uncertainty and failure
Before it Led us to the front:
a church altar and pulpit
Before us our modern day Mt. Sinai
*Where the True God came down to man:
Exodus:
1 NOW MOSES kept the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock to the back or west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb or Sinai, the mountain of God. 2 The [4] Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, yet was not consumed. 3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush is not burned. 4 And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush and said, Moses, Moses! And he said, Here am I. 5 God said, Do not come near; put your shoes off your feet, for the place on which you stand is holy ground. 6 Also He said, I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.
*Our modern day Abraham and Isaac sacrificial altar:
(Genesis 22:
8 Abraham said, My son, [46] God Himself will provide a lamb for the burnt offering. So the two went on together. 9 When they came to the place of which God had told him, Abraham built an altar there; then he laid the wood in order and [47] bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar on the wood. [Matt. 10: 37.] 10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand and took hold of the knife to slay his son. [Heb. 11: 17–19.] 11 But the [48] Angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, Abraham, Abraham! He answered, Here I am. 12 And He said, Do not lay your hand on the lad or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear and revere God, since you have not held back from Me or begrudged giving Me your son, your only son. 13 Then Abraham looked up and glanced around, and behold, behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up for a burnt offering and an ascending sacrifice instead of his son! 14 So Abraham called the name of that place The Lord Will Provide. And it is said to this day, On the mount of the Lord it will be provided.)
A foreshadowing:
I….Traveled many roads either getting me hopefully lost or proved to be dead ends
Till I found the only road God blessed me with to walk and led me to you Wanda ending and beginning at the front of a church and a pulpit
Watching come down the aisle to join me
And to join our lives :

This time
Not a pre recorded audience going aah at not finding my trulove
My hearts keeper again and again
But this victory anthem for all Adams and all Eves:
And we exchanged our vows
Yet there is a touch of regret and sadness
As I fall under your enchantment
As you walk down the aisle
Instead of a perfect Adam and perfect eve
In a Disney perfect marriage
and
A perfect creation…
Yet because of God’s love and mercy continues to be a gift of God-
Created by Him for us
Continues to be our blessing from Him
Marriage of all Adams and eves
Whether they acknowledge it or not
Give Him credit or someone or something else:
Continues to be a holy and sacred and inclusive
special garden of eden
like the original eden
Yet Not a Disney movies of happily ever afters.
We introduce express it to each other
Gen 3:1-24
is marred by sin
Adams sins
Eves sins
Both our sins
And Sins other Adams and eves do to other edenic unions
Truly Because of The fall and sin-
Now it is rather a sinful Adam and a sinful Eve
In a imperfect marriage living out dickens quote:
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.”
Thus There is no perfect marriage like this all the time:
At times more like this(the new normal) because of the fall and its effects:
Adams vs Eves
Eves vs Adams
Adams vs themselves
Eves vs themselves
And everybody is shouting and nobody is really listening:
And Adams and Eves vs other Adams and Eves
To rule
To conquer
And to dominate:
And this truth
Is both bitter and sweet
Reformed faith salsa style
