V-Day

Last night was awesome. About 12 of us guys that are involved with Master Plan Ministries here on campus put together a V-Day dinner for all the single girls in the ministry. It was amazing. We got Cornerstone to let us use their sanctuary to host the event. We put up 6 tables in the sactuary in a "U" shape, facing the stage, with red table cloths and a gold center piece on all of them. Then we placed candles suspended in water, flowers, and candy hearts on the tables. As the girls arrived we had a few guys valet and then a few others to escort the ladies into the sanctuary to be seated. As they arrived we had elegant cello music as background music. Once all the girls had arrived (about 35 of them I believe) we served them their salad and water. After that we served them lasagna and dinner rolls with sparkling cider. All the ladies were in dresses and all the guys were in a shirt and tie (except me I didn't know I was supposed to be so formal so I wore a button up shirt and jeans). As they were eating the main coarse I played a little guitar and sang and then my buddy Nick did the same. After they were done with dinner we all told them how honored we were to have them as our sisters in Christ and shared a few verses of how we felt toward them. Then we brought out chocolate covered strawberries for dessert. After that we hung out and escorted them to their cars as they left. The night was amazing and I could see Gods' love everywhere in everything the whole night. The girls felt loved and honored as they should feel and all of us guys got to bro down and really bond through the experience. I would say one of the best parts of the night was we were all tired and about to leave when we got outside and my buddy Ronnie had a random flat tire. So we all stayed and helped get the tire changed at about 12:30am. It was awesome and we just laughed and loved on eachother the whole time. O ya and we had some cigars to make it all the more fulfilling. So I just to say that God is good and his love in amazing and faithful. And for all you girls out there, don't live by what this world tells you but by the Word of God especially what he says in Proverbs 31.

Happy Valentines Day Everyone!

I can't believe that my little Brother Smokes Cigars. YUCK!!!! Leave it to you to be the odd on in the group to be the only one not dressed like everyone else. You have some of the best ideas and that is why I am proud to say that you are my Brother. I was driving home tonight and during the silence in the truck I started to think of those that I am thankful for. You surely and truly are one I am thankful for. I have learned a lot from you over the years (even though you are younger) and love all the times that we have had so far. I can't wait to see what the future holds. I do have a question for you as far as this Summer goes. Can't wait to talk to you about it some and see what you think.

Love,
Your Big Brother
