(actual post)
A lot of people say that they have the biggest family in the world. Especially after they get married as they take on an entire second set of relatives. This can be a substantial addition as I am learning while Janelle and I make the invitation list for our wedding! When most people say that they have the biggest family in the world however, they are mistaken... they don't. I do.
Now wait a minute you say, you haven't met MY family! And you are probably right, I haven't. Unless this is you Mom in which case I have but when I say I have the biggest family in the world I am not talking about my relatives. I am talking about my brothers and sisters in Christ.
In the summer I attended Worship East 2005 (as you know if you read this thing!) and while we were there they told us to go find someone we didn't know and talk to them. So I did, that is no problem for me. I met this guy named Adam who is from PEI but goes to school in NB. I found this interesting because I am from NB and go to school in PEI. We had a great chat and parted ways. A month later I found myself at a Three Season Ant concert in Charlottetown and this guy was there, spotted me and come to chat with me again and I ended up seeing him again at Dariy Queen. It was so encouraging to talk with him about the Lord and worship and other things and I thank God that I have family like this all over the world. People who I don't know but share the most important bond that anyone can have.
In closing I just want to say:
I'm S'glad I'm a part of the family of God!

call it intuition - mom's just know these things sometimes... i read the title of your blog - and knew where you were going before i read another line. i love you Dan.
How true that is! I can even go a bigillion miles from home and still there are so many people who have connections with people I know from home, kinda cool how God planed for us to live in such a big community.
wedding List eh... well you know who you gotta invite! ME! ..lol Im joking..
Dan my good fellow you are right. When I went to Soulfest even though I never really talked to a whole lot of people you just seem to have that connection. A lady I have never seen before gave me a hug when I was down there. If that happened here I would be weirded out and call the cops. lol. Not really (probly). Anyway, I agree.
You're getting married?!
Holy Crap!
