"Finally, I suspect that it is by entering that deep place inside us where our secrets are kept that we come perhaps closer than we do anywhere else to the One who, whether we realize it or not, is of all our secrets the most telling and the most precious we have to tell." Frederick Buechner

And the groom wore (outrageous) shoes
And so did the preacher.
Don't miss this video interview with Susan Russell, preacher at the civil union and blessing of the covenant between Gene Robinson and Mark Andrew.
Congratulations Gene and Mark. You deserve much happiness. May God continue to bless you that you may continue to be a blessing.

Neither link worked :-(.
ReplyDeleteBut congratulations to all involved in the celebration!
This is great and I love the shoes!
ReplyDeleteI am reading Gene's book and was thinking about what this day must have been like as I drifted off to sleep.
God bless one and all.
Jane r - I tried both links. Twice. The first one got a "busy" comment from Google. The second one (on Walking With Integrity) worked both times. (You have to click on the link below the screen).
ReplyDeleteHope this helps.
Fabulous footwear! That is the real problem with being straight; I could never carry those shoes off. For me it is my choice of color: black. Sometimes, as an adventure, I go with black instead. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou know, that may be the entire problem with the homophobes -- shoe envy! +Gene however can flat do it.
Congrats Mark and Gene. May your ongoing journey be blessed and joyful.
FWIW

The Integrity link worked this time. Thank you, Elizabeth.
ReplyDeleteWell, I used to joke that all MY shoes look like "lesbian shoes" but all the lesbians I know have more interesting footwear than I do (um, like crocs!)...so I guess I just wear nerd shoes...
ReplyDeleteKirkie, you gotta lighten up on the crocs thing. My beloved is tormenting me to death here and, right now, I got nothin' to come back at her with (that's a pure North Joisey sentence for ya).
ReplyDeleteWhen I get something else, I'll post it. Until then, ixnay on the oxray.
