Horton

On Monday, Brian traveled to Cedar Falls for their Bible Conference.  His former professor at Wscal was speaking - Dr. Michael Horton.  Horton is like the Michael Jordan of theology - he's so big time.

You can imagine, then, that there was much rejoicing when Horton asked Brian if he had lunch plans after the morning lectures.  Horton invited him to the lunch for the speakers.  Brian was quickly tucking in his shirt and trying to look as nice as possible as they drove up to this super fancy restaurant on a hill (yes, Horton rode in MY Jeep!).  (I am such a nerd, I know.)

Dr. Horton was also lecturing in the afternoon.  Brian was sitting halfway up the aisle on the left side, and Dr. Horton got to the podium, started to speak, stopped, started again, stopped and said, "One moment," walked all the way to Brian, asked him if he had plans after the conference, and then walked back to the podium and gave his theology talk! 

When the conference finished, Brian and Horton drove around trying to find a good cigar place.  They did, eventually, and chatted for nearly 3 hours.

I am so thankful to the LORD for this opportunity for Brian.  I had prayed so hard that the LORD would give Brian a chance to chat with Horton and I am simply amazed at how He provided.  There have been so many trying things in ministry these first two years and Brian has no one to talk theology with.  I am so grateful for the ways Dr. Horton encouraged my husband.  It was such a blessing - one that touched this wife's heart!
