The only thing that redeemed the trip was my hike up Stone Mountain in which my friend relayed how much he and his family are enjoying attending North Point C.C. Then today, I opened up my NYWC conference email and there was your face...I thought "Jon Acuff...who is that? ...must be related to Roy"...So then, embarrasingly enough, tonight I googled about Jon and Kate and there randomly popped up your blog "Stuff Christians Like"...Which I proceeded to read and laugh and laugh some more...So all this to say, You've got a great blog...Thanks for sharing!

It came at just the right moment of my life. I've been dithering whether to do something when God has been telling me loud and clear and also through many different people what I should do. It's only my own fear that keeps me from doing it.<br />Thank you again and keep up the good work. Thank you for this. It came at just the right moment of my life.
