Since there\'s not laws in place for detecting and charging someone for driving under the influence of marijuana in most states (including Colorado) of course it would seem that way. But since Washington state implemented policies for DUI for marijuana those stats are changing. See http://j.mp/1jeyAju.

Thanks so much! Dan and I have gotten a kick out of everyone's responses. I was unclear what I was going to be teaching on this October when my turn comes at New Denver for a 3-week series, and this sealed the deal. Keep an eye on http://newdenver.org/messages this fall for a teaching series exploring God's plans for love, sex, dating and lasting marriages. Thanks for reading.

Thanks Josh. I still remember some of our great conversations when you were struggling with singleness. In particular I remember one we had over lunch during a class at DTS when you advocated well that if God willed/allowed for some people to be single then he must be able to provide all they needed outside marriage. I love that God brought you to that place of dependence and trust and then has allowed you to experience marriage. I hope to one day read a post like this from you after you've been married for a while and reflect back on your own lessons. I have a feeling it will be a good one! ;-)

Great point Durand. Life is personal, because God is personal.

Thanks John. It's not a huge secret who the couple was - Eric and Kimberly Tonn. I'm not sure if you ever met them or not. He came to Denver after finishing at UGA a couple years ago and was excited to get back near family.

As for perceptions of ATL and Denver, I think you're right. Your experience shapes your perceptions about a place, but often those perceptions are also shaped by your own actions. Great point. Thanks for reading and for commenting!

Very cool Lisa. If discipleship is something you've been thinking about I'd definitely recommend checking out some of the info from 3DM. In particular the book Building a Discipling Culture was helpful in thinking through developing a language and creating environments for discipleship to happen. I think we need more people bridging the gap between what we understand about spiritual formation and people working in the church to bring that knowledge to bear in discipling relationships that shape and form people. I've been thinking a lot about that...lots more to say in future posts. Thanks for tracking. :-)
