A Wonderful Wedding
It was so neat to see how God has blessed he and Kimmy's patience and purity. They've liked each other for a long time (even though they're so young.) It's neat to see that God writes love stories in many different ways when we're trusting and obeying him.
It was truly a family affair. Emma was a flower girl Shannon sang a special song. Both did an outstanding job. Only Joshua Quinn was without an official role. But he did a good job of keeping everyone else feel needed.

Record Catch with a Barbie Fishing Rod: This is a pretty funny story. Will you look at that fish? It's bigger than the girl. It's a good thing she handed it over to her grandpa. That catfish would have dragged her away.
Blue Like Obama: Popular Christian author Donald Miller will deliver the closing prayer at the Democratic Convention on Monday night. AP Religion Writer Eric Gorski reports that originally Cameron Strang, "the 32-year-old editor of edgy and hip Relevant Magazine," was scheduled to do it but had second thoughts and pulled out. "Citing fears that his bridge-building gesture would be wrongly construed as an endorsement, Strang said he instead hopes to take a lower-profile role, participating in a convention caucus meeting on religion later in the week." The article notes that Strang found Donald Miller, author of the popular spiritual memoir 'Blue Like Jazz' to offer the prayer in his place. (Hat Tip: Mike Allen) [Update: Here's a transcript of Miller's prayer.]
Modest Clothing Trend: Styles come and go. Could there be shift toward a more modest, layered look on the rise among women? An article entitled "Mom Shocked by Teen's Modest Clothing" at CNN.com says there is. The article says, "At the spring Paris fashion shows, Stephanie Meyerson -- trend director for youth culture at Stylesight, a retail forecasting firm -- saw a definite "moving away from overtly sexual" in teen fashion, especially through layering and comfortable baggy looks. "Girls are dressing for themselves, as opposed to dressing for guys," she said. "The guys might not like it but the girls are not wearing really tight shirts. They're covered up."

Church?
"I am reading Joshua Harris book Stop Dating the Church...love it. He talks about the people who believe they can be Christians and never go to church. I have heard this argument many times. They don't believe you have to fellowship..." (Read full post here.)
Jargon Meets Advice
"Boy Meets Girl: I read part of this back when I bought it 7-ish years ago. If you get past the jargon-y parts it has some solid advice." (Read full post here.)
A Brief Review
"I think this book [Sex is Not the Problem (Lust Is)] would appeal to both teenagers and parents, although I would give the parents the book first to read. This is not explicit in its language but it does tackle the difficult questions." (Read full post here.)

My brother and I are good friends with Stephanie, who was a bridesmaid at your brother's wedding. :)
So when's Joel going to follow in his big brother's example and write a book? I'd love to hear he and Kimberly's story! It's so encouraging to hear from others who have gone through the liking-each-other-a-long-time wait (and actually survived). :)

Hey Josh, this has nothing to do w/ what you post. But I have just finished Stop Dating the Church and it's amazing. You have encouraged to want to get more involved with my church and fall in love with it. I also want to thank you for Not Even a Hint. It's so holy and pure, I should call it the Holiness Book. I thought I was the only one that didn't watch anything over PG and not wanting to date until I am ready for marriage. I want to thank you again. And here is something that is hilarious: http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~hemmert/insurgency
