Ellie appears to have a crush. His name is Jonathan. Unfortunately for her, he's 24 years her senior and already married. We suspect his Cincinnati Reds baseball cap is what caught her eye. Like any girl distracted by attraction, she was unaware of anyone else in the room and only had eyes (and many coy smiles) for Jonathan. We've posted a few of them here.Jonathan and his wife, Faith, stayed with us the last couple of evenings during a swing trip they were making through Ohio and Kentucky on Faith's spring break. Faith works in the public school system and Jonathan is a youth pastor in Sanford, North Carolina. The story of how we know them goes back to our very first service at the student center in the fall of 1999 when Jonathan assisted us by co-leading worship. In 2001 Faith and Jonathan served on a team we took to minister on the Texas/Mexico border and not too long after we watched their love blossom. In 2005 Nathan had the honor of standing up with Jonathan at their wedding. We treasure their friendship and any opportunity we have to reconnect like the time we had with them this week. This visit was extra special as they finally got to meet Ellie.
