Wedding Over and Weeding Out

Brad (actually a girl) and Henry got married today.

Sigh.

I went to the wedding with 'the other D' (actually a girl too).

It was great.

I have all sorts of plans for my own wedding and no groom to fit into the plans. But! Another boy is writing to me online... He's local and a writer photographer like me- bonus!

However he is totally freaked out by churches like mine... in fact his most recent epistle (the second he's sent) he launches into a soap box type rant downgrading the most visible of pentecostal expressions/doctrines- speaking in tongues and healing THEN presumes I'm not offended.

Yeah, like THAT's attractive!

Actually, as a formerly non-pente Christian I have seen from the outside in and been equally cautious... but there are charlatans and freaks in all manner of pente and evangelical churches alike. So I can see both sides,( though even from the inside there are occasional times when I'm weirded out.)

Still, I think it's a bit soon for him to be laying a heavy trip on me now about my church - I guess he's establishing the big issues up front... but man, whatever happened to making a friend before you decide on her suitabilility for life partnership!

Sheesh... looks like another one for the compost heap.
