It's a big day for our family. My sister-in-law, Amanda, is getting married today. Such a privilege to be officiating the wedding. And what a blast hanging out with family who is in town for the wedding!
Well, I better go dust off my one and only suit. I haven't worn it since my last wedding!

Will the wedding be at Union Station?
Nope, but we do have our first wedding at Ebenezers next month!
Hello, my name is Jenilyn Jackson and I felt like I really should write you. I was searching to see if there was any way I could share with you something and found this blog thing so I apologize if it has nothing to do with your blog but I just wanted to share with you the impact you've had on my life, a stranger who you've never met. I know that as an author and a pastor of a church you probably get a lot of people sharing how you've changed their lives- I will be another person to add to that. I am a student at Trinity International University in Deerfield, Il. I know that you were from Il. so maybe you know it. Anyhow, this summer I took an internship in Hollywood at the Oasis. Every thursday we would go to the Dream Center in LA. June 14th you came and spoke a radical life changing message to me and I havent been the same since...That night I bought your book, "In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day" and this book touched me in so many ways. You have such a unique way of writing that is humorous yet intriguing. You seemed to have captured a beautiful picture of what it means to go after the "lions" of life. Being in Hollywood and seeing the hurt and pain all summer, I have no doubt that you spoke to many people that night. You definately spoke to my heart. I've never heard a message so close to my heart before. God has given me something huge to do- I've had my doubts if I am even able... this seems to be so big- it's definately a God dream... one in which I don't even know how to do it- but you've given me the drive to seek after this "lion" with everything I have and to chase it! thank you so much for your insight and obedience to God. You are truely one of my heros!
I hope to one day visit Washington and your church. You spoke very highly of your church family and I would love to visit some day.
Thank you again and I just wanted to share this with you to encourage you! God Bless,
Jenilyn

Jenilyn,
Thanks for taking the time to post that. Makes my day. And for what it's worth, I spent some time on the campus at Trinity. I went to seminary there!
Blessings,
Mark
