Ah, Yes, there indeed had been much excited talk about a certain bald headed preacher coming to Mpls. As many are well aware, we all love C.J., but at the CDG conference we were reminded why we love him. It’s not just because he is funny. Or because he has a great laugh. Or just because he loves basketball. Or because he is so joyful. Or even just because he is humble. The biggest reason we love and respect him so much is because God uses him to make us want to know and trust in our Savior more. C.J. makes Jesus look so precious and beautiful. And that is why we love him so much.
We should add that we did in fact stand in line for about 45 minutes waiting to talk to him. It was worth it. We also got our picture taken with him, but had to promise that we would never delete it. Oh, he is such a great guy.
Courtney would like all to know that her eyes are closed.

I think you are putting me at the top of the homeschool list just because you are sick of being the dominate homeschooler... :)
Oh well, I can take it. I'm tough and secure enough in my personhood to be the reigning homeschooler. Can't you tell by the way I'm closing my eyes. It screams self-esteem!
p.s. totally laughed out loud about the picture thing. I'm so glad that you brought my native american roots to bear on the discussion. It would be a sight to see. We should do it.
p.s.s.
scrubs? love it! especially with the neck movement.
Uhhh, girls...no love for my asian roots? Diss.
I still think you should have made him a cake!
LOVE IT!
ohhh, I'm laughing right now!
katie, you should come over and watch the twins games!
