Now here is a fine specimen of man. This is Trent on our epic mountain biking trip to birmingham back in 07. In the past couple of days I have been struck with the sheer quality of some of our friends. This week has been a difficult time for Holly and I...in the midst of a move and such. The other night around ten I was talking to holly - still in Louisiana. She had worked ten hours that day, she was taking medicine that made her exhausted, and she needed to go to the grocery store. I called trent to see if he could take her to wal-mart so she didn't have to go alone at night...it was an obscure inconvenient request but he was on the way before I finished asking him. I can't tell you how much I experienced the love of God in Trent's willingness to take care of my wife in a way that I couldn't that night.. Similarly holly's friend Megan Dollar spent the entire night with her last night...and slept on the floor of our empty house so that Holly wouldn't have to pack and clean alone on her last night in Ruston. In truth I am convicted by the love of these people. They are compelled by something beyond obligation. They have a love that I pray to have myself.
