Yesterday, Nicole and I attended a wedding in Windsor, Colorado. One of my best friends in the whole world got married. Lindsey and I have been friends since 7th Grade. She is one crazy girl and I wish we didn't live so far apart. Lindsey is highly involved with "Hippie Ministry." She attends the Rainbow Gathering every year, where she and several other Christians camp with a bunch of crazy stoners who sit around chanting happy things and drink, sing, dance, bake, smoke, etc. for about a month.
In many ways, Lindsey and I are polar opposites. I love ministering to sword toting computer nerds and she loves hemp wielding hippies. She would have a hard time with those I love to share God with and there is no way I would survive without attacking someone at the Rainbow Connection. God has given us separate passions, which is awesome.
Anyways, one of the most incredible things happened at Lindsey's wedding. At the very end of the ceremony, before "You may now kiss the bride," the pastor told us that Lindsey and her husband had never kissed on the lips while dating. I know some of you will roll your eyes as you read this, or think there is no way you could ever do that, but it was incredible to watch a couple who had made a commitment to stay pure to each other in a special way and keep it until their wedding day.
I am not advocating this for everyone; in fact, I don't think it is the "right" or "wrong" thing to do. Instead, I hope you will see this as something that most Christians fail to do. They set a standard for their lives and COURAGEOUSLY kept it in spite of societal pressure and what their hormones wanted. God was really honored in Lindsey's wedding, and I left feeling like I should strive to make commitments to God and stand courageously behind them. I hope you can do the same with decisions in your life.
