Read this story this morning about J.I. Packer (incredible author):
After I had my my book signed, many more pressed him. He signed books as he answered questions. The insight he provided into the Puritans in those few minutes still have a lasting impact on me. During the conversation, a young man (my age) approached Packer with a newly purchased ESV Bible (of which Packer was a general editor). Excitedly, he asked Packer to sign it and handed it to him. For a few moments Packer held the Bible in his hands, and quietly returned it to the young man. He said, “Son, this is God’s book. If you want it signed you will need to ask him.”
Good call.

Great story. Man it looks like your family is doing well. Kolden and I were talking about you last night—he said he was so excited to be able to help you out for once with some video.
Ok man…thanks for the story.
