she’s great!

Great author. Has challenged my thinking in a lot of areas related to Christian spirituality.

My sister in law! :) welcome to 43 things, Dana!

I saw Mel at DCLA 2003, he was doing a promo for the Passion of the Christ, people went crazy, I mean CRAZY for about 8 minutes, cheering, whistling, hooting…

Yes. Me too. I am so ashamed.

sort of met him, I saw him at a concert, I was so close I could reach out and crush his little head, crush, crush, crush his tiny little head!

The concert was great, so was Bono

My wife! So of course I know her! We have so much fun, she’s a great mother and wife, a faithful and loyal friend to her girlfriends. We make sure we take plenty of time for ourselves for dates, dinners and movies.

Love you, dude.

I remember Nate before he had facial hair…he was fresh out of Wheaton College, in love with my buddy Dana’s big sister Kara, and rearing to go. It took him a while to figure out how to get the youth group to shut up when he became the youth pastor at our church, but once he did, Kara decided to marry him. I was around 18 when they got married and I went to their wedding. Soon after we had a youth group lock-in and I saw them smooch. My mental notes were “Oh my gosh, they do IT now,” and “wow, I want to get married.” So I did, 6 years later. And we all lived happily ever after.

This is my hot hubby! I’m so blessed. :)
