We attended Carol's sisters wedding yesterday. She is a deeply and fundamentally religious woman and her husband shares her faith. The thing that stuck some at the ceremony was their very personal vows. She promised to love, honor and obey him with the additional statement that she would be submissive to him. I understood what she said and what she meant. It is to be taken in the context of Christ's love for his church. Her husband is biblically admonished to love his wife as Jesus loves his followers. Submission then is not her husband ruling over her but loving her in a manner that always considers what is best for both of them. It is unfortunate that many in fundamentalist churches understand the requirement that their wives be submissive but fail to show them the unconditional love Christ showed his church.

We left Lexington on Sunday morning in the midst of a snowstorm. It was nothing like Illinois snow and we sped along at 70+ mph. When we got into North Carolina the snow stopped. By the time we got to South Carolina the temperature was up to 60 degrees. Eventually we saw a high of 68. Anyone wonder why I'm tired of Illinois? We sped along at 80 to 85 mph during the afternoon and didn't see any police until we got on Interstate 95 in South Carolina. They were out hot any heavy. It did not slow any of us down but from time to time we would sacrifice a fellow traveler to the blue lighted bastards.

Tybee Island was finally made and after securing a room for the night it was off to A.J.'s Dockside for some awesome seafood and some very high alcohol rum punch.

Tomorrow the house hunt begins!
