I am taking part in a wedding today of two incredible people, Kyle Todd and Kendra Coggins. I met Kendra and her family (Ken, Linda and Kaylee) while serving as youth minister at First Baptist Church, Smyrna, Tennessee. I quickly bonded with the Coggins family because of our common ties to Georgia and especially to UGA football. The were a “DAWG” oasis in the midst of a volunteer state of hostility!
I told Kendra last night that I believed two elements were essential for a great marriage:
- Make Jesus Lord of your household.
- Laugh a lot!
The Coggins family has been significant in the life of CATGrove! They have supported us financially and with prayer and encouragement. Their support and encouragement has been immeasurable.
Here is a picture of the beautiful couple.
