Why I Love Lynnette
Today’ is my wife’s birthday. I won’t say how old she is; but she is older than me, and looks a lot younger. She is my world, my hope, and everything I live for. I want nothing more than to see that she is happy every possible moment of her life. And here’s why I love her:- She’s everything I’m not. She listens better, is nicer, and is much more musically talented.
- She is usually always right. Slowly but surely, I’ve come around to her world of postmodernism, Gmail, Firefox, and Lightning 100. The exciting part is that over the next however many years, I’ll get to experience so many more cool things because she found them first and put up with my stubbornness until I came around and saw to her way of thinking.
- She took a risk on me. She was willing to take a chance on a fraternity boy who never seems to make up his mind and has different ideas of who he wants to be everyday of the week. She sticks by me. I have no idea why.
- She picks up the pieces. It was clear from the get-go that she wanted to shock the world with me and help pick up the pieces. Stay tuned.
- She cares more about the cats than I do. Maybe this is a reason why Missy and Rosie love her.

I didn't even realize it, but as I was reading your article, I was all of a sudden singing "Can you feel the love tonight?"

Ahh, How sweet! I love it! I bet she won't even make you watch any mushy girly movies after that post... I see an action film in your future! Way to go Sam!

Lynnette has always brought joy and happiness to our family. She has always been a peacemaker and a radiant example of grace. She deserves unconditional love in her journey of being a child of the God and in her relationship as life's partner to Sam Davidson. We praise God for this union that has untold promise for the future in seeing the will of God and His purposes worked out in your life. Love to you -- Mom and Dad Ogle

Sam....although I appreciate your desire to evince great humility in your article about the greatness of your wife in light of your lack of greatness, however,the truth is your character was rock steady at a young 19 years of age and it was patently obvious (at that time)that you were a unique combination of leader, visionary, and ,aberrantly, were not afraid of going against the grain rather than people please. I think you were anything but some hapless frat guy stumbling and bumbling around looking for an anchor to find some stability.....That's just not the facts folks. I don't care who you married and how amazing she is, you ,my friend, were (are) a catch....So enjoy each other as a gift from God....Life is short--keep loving fervantly!

oh snap! that means i ran into lynnette last week on her b'day and she didn't tell me or i didn't know. either way i gave hug a hug (def friend hug sam), so just tell lynnette that i said happy b'day when i hugged her. i'm not that insenstive.
oh and i found many similarities between your lynnette and my erin.

gavin - i didn't tell you it was my b-day. no need for a big announcement. you and erin and me and sam should hang out sometime. outside of the blogosphere or all things emergent.

i think hanging outside of both of those dimensions would be fun. erin would appreciate at that as she not at all blogworld and emergent by action, not by language. happy b'day -l
