They probably got the news. This thread was posted days ago!
My post on another thread, but probably better suited for this one.
Hello everyone,
Well maybe if you're having reservations about getting married, addressing it this way in front of 300 million people might not be the best idea. :)
I have not been on board much because I've been with the families the last two days. Because I work in the media, I've been trying to help coordinate media strategy. The bottom line, with a wedding party this big, it would be foolish to have 28 groomsmen/bridesmaids saying who knows what to whoever. Some of you know the role I played in this, and I do appreiciate your words and prayers VERY MUCH.
As for Jennifer, of course I can't explain this. It's not her background, I can tell you that. I have come to know her family better through this ordeal, and they are as solid and as faith-based a group as I've ever met. The same for the Mason family. John Mason is in many ways, my hero. He has been a rock of faith that humbles me since day 1 of this nightmare. If you think you've seen an outpouring of love for Jennifer and John over the last 3 days, trust me, you ain't seen nothing yet. We are eager to give them both hugs and love starting now.
i do not know what the future holds here, for her or for them as a couple. I know they are both in my prayers. Someone with as many faults as I have (no new threads on this please) has no right to think about judging someone else.
Yesterday, her father cried on television saying he prayed it was a case of "cold feet". There were millions of prayers (many many of them from you all) praying she be found safe and brought home. Prayers answered. I guess we don't get to set stipulations to God. His will and his work will prevail for good in all of this.
One last personal note. This was so hard on me, but my friends here at FR were a pillar of strength for me. I'll never forget it. There are those of you (you know who you are) that I think we're better off if we do not communicate. Some comments burn too deep for me to erase right now. But the vast majority of you have really helped me through this. I pray for you all as you have done for me.
God Bless,
John
