“Ben
As I sit here and look at the salted fish heads staring back up at me
from my bowl of Luke warm ramen noodles, I can’t help but wish I was
at your wedding. Over the years you have always been there for me -
you were there to build a trap door in the barn that caught me and
hung me upside down, and you were there to take me out of the trap;
you were there to elbow me in the face and after watching it swell up
under my eye you were there to point out that I was one of the lucky
few that got to see their own face, not just its reflection; to explain the proper procedure
for dismounting a moving train just moments after I faceplanted in the
gravel for doing it wrong; to teach me that in order to survive In the
world I better learn to defend a triangle choke … Basically you’ve
always been there for me and even when I’m far away I know we are with
each other in spirit and prayer. You have always been a living example
to me of what it looks like to live out our faith, and I really can’t
explain what an advantage that has been to me in life. Thanks so much.
I know I also speak for Caleb and dad when I say I wish I was there, I
am so excited for you to get married, to have Lisa in the family, and
to see how god works through the two of you together. So I support you
in every way exept maybe financially , love you lots, man – here’s to
you getting married…” –Jordan Jonas

"So, friends, every day do something that won’t compute…Give your approval to all you cannot understand…Ask the questions that have no answers. Put your faith in two inches of humus that will build under the trees every thousand years…Laugh. Be joyful though you have considered all the facts….Practice resurrection."
— Wendell Berry
