Six months ago today I met the most amazing person. I met Leah Edwards on February 15 while attending some meetings in Pittsburgh. I asked her to go out for coffee after the meeting. I think it turned out to be the best coffee of my life! Actually, I don't remember too much about how the coffee tasted, but the conversation was unforgettable.
Leah serves as director of children's ministry at Northway Community Church. If you visit her blog you'll soon discover so many of the things I admire about her. She loves God's Word. She loves people. She is hilarious. Seriously, she constantly makes me laugh. She is full of wisdom and grace. She believes wholeheartedly in the beauty and potential of the local church. The only question mark in our relatoinship seems to be her undying love for the Pittsburgh Steelers:)
If my blogging has been less than consistent at times during the past six months, Leah is probably the reason why:) She is definitely the reason that I haven't played much golf this summer!
Leah, thanks for so many great memories these past six months! You've enriched my life:)
Jamie and I really like her as well..... You guys are such a cute couple!!

Her love for the Steelers ONLY makes her more admirable.
So is this the GOING PUBLIC blog?
You look and sound really happy - that's great!

She doesn't like you, she thinks you're a chump, she thinks you're blogs are dumb...
Signed, "Her boss in Pittsburgh" that does not want to lose the best Children's Director in the world to Detroit." :)

We love her! And any woman who can woo a man away from golf must be a winner!
