Curtis Shelburne My eyes are now open. It seems to be morning. But what day is it? That’s the conversation I had with myself as something approaching consciousness was trying to break through my brain fog this morning. You see, we had a wedding a couple of days ago, complete with all the rehearsal and […]

I’ve heard a slight flurry of interest due to the Royal Wedding — perhaps from people who wondered if they […]
Who would ever believe I would live in the time of two separate “weddings of the century.” I tried my best to ignore them both but it just wasn’t working on this last royal wedding. A couple of days before the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton I awoke to the memory I had […]

Curtis K. Shelburne The setting Jesus chose for his first miracle is almost as amazing as the miracle itself. He changed water to wine at a wedding feast (John 2).

By Clyde Davis: CNJ columnist Our very dear friend was married in Philadelphia yesterday. Perhaps because it is the day after her birthday, perhaps because it is the day after Janice and I have our wedding anniversary, she chose June 6 as a wedding date.
