Just got back from a work / vacation / family visit to southern California with Heidi. We haven't had much time together in awhile and this was the perfect excuse to do it.
Even though it was a work trip, I also was able to spend time with my older brother while away from the Minnesota fall and the boy's football playoffs (which they ended up winning on Saturday's games).
What I didn't expect was that it rained every day, I only was able to spend a very limited amount of time with my brother and his family, and I didn't get a chance to meet with any clients.
On the bright side, I was able to make some new acquaintances, spent some real quality time with Heidi, and relaxation came pretty easy while walking on the beach everyday
While trying to locate the sun, I read John Piper's book 'This Momentary Marriage'. The premise of the book is that marriage is covenant. And not only is it ordained by God, marriage was designed to show Christ's love for the church (his bride).
It also struck me that this would be a great tool or guide-book for people perhaps searching for meaning behind their marriage or another good resource for those trying to find answers for marriages that are under some stress.
You can buy the book at Piper's website (www.desiringgod.com), or I am sure there are used copies on Amazon or something.
Greetings to Dave in Colorado - hope your time together with your wife was special.
Grace & Peace
