From Heaven to Hell

January 22, 2008 · 2 Comments

Just a little over a year ago I had the joy of officiating one of the most beautiful wedding services for a very special friend.  The counseling, the rehearsal, the ceremony, the reception were all full of happiness and hope.  The ceremony was filled with love and intimacy.  It was so touching, it made me cry.

Today, I was in a courtroom watching two lawyers, a judge, and this same couple dissolve this holy union.  As the lawyers argued over money and simple material goods, and the judge made decisions, I wondered to myself, so what?  Why care about the money and stuff when two souls that had been knit together by God are ripped apart?  It was so terrible, it made me cry.

How quickly, in this life, we travel from heaven to hell.
