Way to go, man (and woman)! Regardless of how confident you are in your manhood, it's always good to know that your "boys" can indeed hit the mark (or in this case "the amy").

Awesome!
Pretty soon you'll be Pastor of New Monastic Communities (NMC) at Willow Creek. Way to go, man!
(and that thing you do with your eyebrows always gives me chills).

P.S. You could easily speak at Cornerstone.

Mark,
Perhaps you've heard this from me before, but one of my great epiphanies in life came when I was completely stalled and frustrated in what I wanted to do for God. In one of those great but rare revelatory moments God spoke clearly to me and said: "Stop worrying about what you're going to do for me and start focusing on who I want you to be." I decided then that I was going to focus all my efforts on just being a disciple of Jesus and soon after that "success" in ministry followed.

I hope that you will hold tight to what God said to you that night and it will be a definitive bookmark in your story.

Um... this is awkward... but I suppose there's no good time to really say it but... I love Amy too. And in a few hours she'll be at my house. Of course, you'll be here too, but I can deal with that. HA! Congratulations, you BIG SAP!

I forgive you. And don't forget about your speaking engagement here.

I'd like to reinforce what Jackson said about self-publishing. It isn't just for losers anymore. There are some great companies out there that can make your book look just as good as any publisher and very affordable. Of course you don't get the marketing power of a publisher, but let's be honest, Mark. I don't see a publisher putting a whole lot of effort into marketing either Jesus Manifesto or the Breviary because you're not Shane Claiborne. That doesn't mean it's not worth doing. In fact, its more true to who you are.

I've had dessert with Ryan & Holly at Cafe Latte. We had good conversation, but I've never heard their music. I'll have to check it out.
