Very nice.<br /><br />For my parents' 25th, my family was living in England, and we simply went out for spaghetti. :)Joel Bruesekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10395847887953875757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590322.post-20066821251504027042009-06-03T10:27:13.455-05:002009-06-03T10:27:13.455-05:00For the "enquiring" readers who "wa...For the "enquiring" readers who "want to know"...<br /><br />Michele and I had a nice buffet meal with our son Michael at China King .<br /><br />To my surprise, Michele had raided the local party supply store, and decorated our kitchen with all kinds of Silver 25th Anniversary stuff: <br /><br />silver striped tablecloth,<br /> <br />white paper sorta-bell-shaped 3-D thing with silver "25" on top of it,<br /> <br />silver anniversary paper plates & napkins,<br /> <br />two white taper candles, <br /><br />two crystal goblets for a "toast",<br /><br />a white coconut cake that we cut together, wedding-day-style, while Michael snapped a picture, <br /><br />two photo albums containing pictures of our wedding and honeymoon, and<br /> <br />the bouquet of roses and lilies<br />that had arrived a couple of days earlier, and had now nicely bloomed.<br /><br />I gave Michele a cross necklace (silver, of course) with a Garnet in the middle of the cross (her birthstone).<br /><br />She gave me a copy of <i>Truth Endures</i>, by John MacArthur.<br /><br />Actually Mac had little to do with the actual production of this book, as the subtitles imply:<br /><br /><i>Commemorating Forty Years of Unleashing God's Truth One Verse at a Time - 1969-2009 - Landmark Sermons by John MacArthur - With a Biographical Sketch by Iain H. Murray - Phil Johnson and Mike Taylor, eds.</i>.<br /><br />The "biographical sketch" by Iain Murray is over 60 pages long(!) and is obviously more than worth the price of the book alone (Murray is the terrific biographer of Charles Spurgeon, Jonathan Edwards, and Martyn Lloyd-Jones).<br /><br />The hard cover is designed with faux alligator skin with faux leather trim, gold-embossed, looking like it's already somewhat "worn" with age and use.<br /><br />Very cool.<br /><br />Knowing me after 25 years of marriage, Michele couldn't have picked a more precious present. <br /><br />I can picture some of you fellow book lovers salivating.<br /><br />Praising the Lord,<br />TerryTerry Rayburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00888533194435826837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590322.post-28022191854426448892009-06-03T09:41:30.783-05:002009-06-03T09:41:30.783-05:00Joel,
