Stephen Hainline & Sarah Criss's Wedding

Two weeks ago we had the blessing of attending and helping out with Stephen and Sarah's wedding.

We ( the Bryan family) were in charge of RSVP's, and orchestrating the reception.

A week or so before the wedding we went and started collecting supplies such as, 45 bottles of ginger ale, 4 cases of pineapple juice, 20 cans of frozen lemonade, 20 cans of frozen orange juice. And that's just for the punch:) Well I'm not going to bore you with the rest of the details.

Here are some photos I got of the wedding.

Our living room completely full of wedding stuff!

Thanks Mrs. Ciolek for loaning us nearly all the stuff we needed, you were a life saver:)

And finely they drove away.

The wedding went wonderfully. I pray that the new couple will continue to grow up loving each other in the love and adoration of the Lord and raise up Godly sons and daughters to be faithful believers that will serve the Lord their God.

The Sufficiency Of Scripture Conference 2009

Sorry it has taken me so long to post this:(

Back in December dad, Graydon Langford, and I flew out to Covington Kentucky (just below Cincinnati OH).

Our flight left at 11:45 pm on the 8th and arrived in Kentucky around 10:30 am the next morning. I did not sleep a wink partly because of turbulence and partly because I was so excited.

So I stayed awake for 42 hours, almost two days, before I got to sleep!!

The day that we arrived we went to the Creation Museum there in Kentucky, it was amazing, huge, and there was so much to see.

We stopped here for lunch after we toured the museum and had some Cincinnati Chili.

They had this cage in one of the rooms with live birds in them

Some of the dinosaurs were animated which added to the whole effect!

The conference was very eye opening and inspirational. Even though I was working most of the time I was still able to listen to a few of the speakers and spend some time with dear friends. All the speakers were so gifted in expounding the Word of God and driving home the point that the Bible MUST be the measuring line for every area of life. Our culture shouldn't dictate how we conduct our worship in church, how we share the Gospel, how we raise our families, or even how we organize our church. The Bible must be our guide. Truly we neglect the sufficiency of Scripture in so many ways. It was a super conference! A special thank you to my dear friend Jonathan Langford for giving me the opportunity to attend the conference. You're the best Jonny!
