Albuquerque Ranks in the Top 15 Best Places to Get Married – WalletHub Study

The picture above is of me and the lovely, wonderful, Godly couple Steve and Andra Minor. I was blessed to marry these two years ago in Old Town. Great day! I love doing weddings, such a Godly honor, I have been blessed to officiate many in the last 10 years!

WOW! 38,000 for a wedding!!!!!!! Shows how materialistic we have become as a nation. JESUS AT THE CENTER NOT MONEY!!! 38,000!!! That might not be much to you……but that is more than some people make in a year and also my Mom and dad Dad $25,000 for their home. This is just crazy stuff!

That $38,000 would make an awesome down payment on a home!

Now I know people who spend that on a new car!!!! Why????

JESUS must be at the center of everything we do. When Sharon and I got married I bet we spent with our honey moon and everything, $5 to 6 thousand. But I have to admit that was long ago! LOL! I’m just shocked at the cost of things!!!! LOL! Boy, Am I getting old!! I am starting to sound like Grandpa Carway!

I am so tight, I squeak!!! When you run a ministry you learn to run on a very tight budget!
