October 3, 2025: The Church Match

Who knew a parking lot could be so romantic?

Today, driving Jess to the airport, we made an unplanned turn into a familiar church lot. Back in the mid-90s, this Norfolk congregation played our matchmaker.

They had no idea what they started.

We stared at our surroundings, amazed at how everything looked exactly the same. The building stood unchanged, and the scene felt frozen in time, like someone pressed pause in 1994 and forgot to hit play again.

God’s plan often unfolds in unique places. And that location will always be our chapter one.

So much has changed over the decades, but our beginning remains perfectly preserved.
