About to be new brother-in-law...

This is a big weekend for our extended family...My wife and I are going to be celebrating our one year anniversary on Sunday, but I will say more about that later in the week as it gets closer.

But the other big news is that my wife and I set up her sister and my friend on a blind date two years ago. They are getting married tomorrow.

That guy is Drew Sams. Drew was a senior at USC when I was the college intern at Bel Air in 2001-2002. That same year, Drew was one of two students who was sitting on the committee to hire a new college director. That guy so happened to be me, and Drew was influential in getting me the job that I love. Drew later started going to Fuller and started doing more and more ministry at Bel Air. It was during that time that our friendship really began to grow and Drew has been a very influential person in my life and a great sounding board as we have discussed many things over the years, and we have talked many a night about ministry, and often the "emerging church."

Drew is now the high school pastor at Calvary Community Church in Westlake Village after serving for a year as the high school interim director at Bel Air. Drew is a very gifted and thoughtful pastor and I have met few people who knows exactly how to engage youth culture and help draw them closer to Christ.

Congrats Drew and Erika! I am so excited for you. And welcome to the family.
