Roses Are Red (Flags)

Leaving Some ‘Blue’

Roses are red

Violets are blue

You said you were single

But that wasn’t true

If roses were red

And violets were blue

The dude who was answering

Would’ve been you

Jesus has done it again He rewinds the years I lost in tears He gives me joy for all the pain From drained out seasons, wealth has grown again

I'm officiating another wedding in September. My dear friend, Alex, is marrying her sweet love, Camille, and I get to give the speech that binds them together in the eyes of the law. I thought I might play with a few ideas here to help me brainstorm and develop the message. I'll skip the boring standard introduction stuff; similarly, I won't include the wrap-up with their commitments and whatnot. Just the goods.
