Aside: Letter from SCL author, Jon Acuff

Ok, ok, I haven't been this excited about something so insignificant in a very long time. Well, actually, not since Monday when we went to my favorite Mexican restaurant and I got an out-of-this-world grilled chicken torta. But I haven't been this excited SINCE THEN.

So, Stuff Christians Like is a blog that I read every day. It is a hilarious satirical look at Christian life. Jon Acuff is the author (also author of the book Stuff Christians Like--which I highly recommend, buy it here) and in one of his recent posts, he mentioned how he would like to feature some guest posts. So he laid out the rules for a guest post and asked for entries to be sent in.

Well, I immediately sat down and wrote a guest post and sent it in. And lo and behold, he sent me a reply!!! And that is what I'm so excited about!!! No, no, he didn't say he was going to publish my post--yet. But the fact that he took the time to send me a reply (one that had my name in it, no less) made me appreciate him and his blog all the more.

It was a whopping 3 sentences long, and I reveled every word of it. He thanked me for sharing my creativity and told me he would let me know if it ends up going on SCL (which, I know probably means it won't but WHO CARES!?!? He wrote me back!)

So, that is why I'm excited.

Yeah, big whoop, you may say.

But I have a real-life email from Jon Acuff.

What now, huh?!...
