Hannah and Nick are engaged!

Well, for those of you hearing this for the first time, Hannah and Nick are engaged
to be married. Susie has been praying for God to bring Hannah a Christian husband
all of Hannah's life. (She prays the same for Sarah.) I, on the other hand, have
prayed for three characteristics in a husband for Hannah. They are (1) He must
love God; (2) He must love Hannah; (3) He should laugh at my jokes. If he played
golf, that would be a bonus.

Let me tell you about Nick Brown. He is a senior at K-State and Manhattan
Christian College. He is (according to Hannah) smarter than Hannah. Hannah
once described him as "the smartest man she knows." I had problems with that on
several levels, but that is for another day. Here are three things I know about
Nick:

(1) Nick loves God. I know that because I know Nick. I know that by watching him
interact with his parents. I know that because of the way he treats Hannah, and I
know that because I have heard him pray. Nick loves God

(2) Nick loves Hannah. I know that because I have watched him and how he treats
Hannah. I know that because Hannah has told me, and I know that because I asked
him if he loves her, and he said yes.

(3) Nick laughs at my jokes. Now, I know what you are thinking...of course he
laughs at my jokes. He is making sure he stays on my "good side." Two things you
need to know. Nick will always be on my good side, because he loves my daughter, and
I am a funny guy. My nephew John Troutt told me so.

I told Nick, and I will tell you who are reading this. If there was a room full of men,
and I/We could choose the right man for Hannah, we would choose Nick.
