There is no other commandment greater than these.

And in his teaching he said, "Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes and like greetings in the marketplaces and have the best seats in the syangogues and the places of honor at feasts, who devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers.

| Dear Wife,
I know I haven't met you. Maybe I have. But I wanted to start writing letters to you, because I don't know if I will ever get to meet you. I'm thirty now, and in case we meet when I am forty, I don't want have missed a chance to tell you how much I missed you. Of how much I have been waiting for you. I don't want you to miss what moves me. I don't want you to not know how I became the way I am when you finally meet me.
Today, Dr. Petter, she is the wife of Dr. Tom Petter. One thing she said today really touched me. She prayed before class began, like she always does, but today her prayer made me ponder on you. She said, let the language we learn today help us to know what God's Words teaches us. Simple right? But in her voice I heard a longing for something. It sounded to me like a longing or a desire to be right with God. Not just a simple I want to get to know God, but a deeper desire to have an intimate relationship with Him. And that she could find this in studying the Word. I don't know what was so different about class today. I don't know what was different about her prayer today. It was like she was uttering the words, "I love you Jesus". She didn't need to say the words itself. I could hear this in her voice. This resonated with me as beautiful. A woman that seeks after God. We don't ususally see our professors nor our pastors nor our elders in the same light as us. But today, in that moment, in that prayer I felt connected with Dr. Petter as a fellow sinner. Seeking God. Loving God. I just know that God has made you with the same heart. I started praying for you recently. I still faulter. More often than I would like. Probably will never be the man I would like to be. But I do know that I am in God's hands. And because He loves me I know He is also making a way for us. I can't wait to meet you.
Praying for you,
ME
