Dear NT Wright,
I wanted to give you this note before you leave.
I can't believe we're finally finished. It's been three years. You took me through the entire New Testament page by page and I don't know how to thank you enough.
I know how busy you are. All the traveling you have to do. The speaking and book writing; let alone the classes you teach now that you're back at university. So to take the time to fit me into your schedule I know was a huge sacrifice. But some how you did.
Everyday I would wake up, grab my cup of coffee, and you were there. Right on time. You never complained. And you gave without requiring back.
You taught me so much. You taught me about Jesus, about the church, about the first century, about the story of Israel and eschatology; so much it was incredible. It's been profound and life changing for me. And now sadly it's come to an end.
I just want you to know how grateful I am. For all of it.
If you're ever in Seattle again and you need a place to stay or just somewhere to hang your hat, my home is always welcome to you. Anytime.
Maybe you would recognize the corner chair where we sat every morning. Maybe we could revisit some of the deep things about God you taught me along the way. Maybe I could ask you some new questions I've been forming.
Or maybe we could just have a cup of coffee. That would be awesome!
Thank you NT Wright.
I'll miss you.
