You are a bridegroom of blood to me.

Here's the link to David's teaching:

The sign of the covenant was rejected by Zipporah,

therefore

God was about to put Moses to death because

he was renigging on his responsibility.

Baby Tia

From two years of age, when Dinah carried 

her newborn brother, Victor, out the front door, 

we had to keep an eye on Dinah because 

she loves babies.

A woman giving birth to a child has pain 
because her time has come; 

but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish 

because of her joy that 
a child is born into the world. ~John 16:21

Auntie Melody and Gma. delight in 

Dinah's long awaited child.

Some months before Dustin came into our world, Dinah asked girls entering the Bakersfield abortion clinic if they would let her adopt their child, to no avail. 

Just 13 months after their wedding day, God has granted the desire of Dinah's heart.

Courtship

Courtship is a time for a girl to answer, "Do I respect this guy enough to follow him?" and a young man to evaluate, "Can this girl follow me as I follow Christ?" It is a time to read and discuss what we believe. When courtship is skipped or rushed through to get to engagement, it can make life together difficult. Courtship involves parental approval, accountability and blessing in evaluating whether someone is right and learning to work through things together.

There are many responsibilities a man can hand off to her, but theology is not one. Theology is a life and death issue.  If she cannot follow him, he should not marry her.  If they are not able to learn and grow and stretch, it could be trouble long haul.

Leadership

 When men are denied dominion at home, in church and culture, what is left for them is an artificial domination in sports or toys.

Kevin takes his chaperone position seriously.

Kevin is a big tease. He loves this "job." Kevin bugs Lance about how many inches are needed between them. He loves giving them a bad time, but he really enjoys their relationship.

Becky's Wedding Dance

Thus says the Lord…

I have loved you with an everlasting love;

therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.

Again I will build you, and you shall be built,

O virgin Israel!

Again you shall adorn yourself with tambourines

and shall go forth in the dance of the merrymakers.

(Jeremiah 31:2-4)

It was a beautiful sunny day.

No cloud could have dimmed the joy

when Lance Seppi

to marry him, and she said

YES!

"He that finds a wife, finds a good thing

and obtains favor from the Lord." 

Proverbs 18:22

Their families ask you to rejoice with us and be in prayer 

for this young couple as they establish their lives together.
