Ryan and Jessica's Wedding

Many know that last year my son, Ryan moved out on his own. Some know the circumstances, but I will not rehash the details.

He is getting married to Jessica King today. They met earlier this year.

Everyone will have their own opinion on this marriage. I have mine, as well.

Although he acts childish, and foolish, at times, Ryan is an adult, and is responsible for his own decision. He is fully aware that my desire is to see him get right, and return to his own God-directed goal of being a missionary. But that is between him and God.

Jessica is a great girl, and Tammy and I both like her. I think she will be a fine wife.

Regardless of what anyone thinks, now, after the "I Do's" this marriage becomes God's will for both of them.

It will be my honor to help them both make it a successful union.

I will not be there, but it's not in protest. We only learned of this about 11 days ago. I just spent a week at home for two days bereavement pay. I literally cannot afford anymore time off.

Some will still criticize me for that. To them I say, I must've missed the check you sent me to help pay my bills.

I wish Ryan and Jessica many happy years together. And of course, once they get on their feet, I expect some grandbabies to spoil.
