The Lord Jesus has really touched you whether you win the Lottery or not. My prayers are that I am proud of any decision you are lead to make. (My tears are flowing!) God loves you and I do too.
Happy Birthday, my son, Mom

Hi Mom,
You know how you were wondering what your purpose was from here on out? Well, I'm going to need your help big time.
I have a plan.
On 4/10/2009 it's Good Friday. It also happens to be my 10th wedding anniversary. It also happens to be the day of the Mega Millions lottery worth 65 million now.
Ever since I put on my John 3:16 (combat green) bracelet, amazing things have been happening to me!
What are you doing again Easter Sunday? Well you better make plans to gather up the family and come to Willow Creek Service with me. Because I'm 100% sure I'm going to win the lottery. I have the perfect numbers that can't loose. They are all based on synchronicity, events conspiring to create the perfect moment. I will explain how I came up with them later.
What I'm talking about here is a Miracle! I'm the Miracle Man (watch the movie Signs)!
Here is my plan.
This woman I work with Karen, her mom just passed away and she talks about her dad a lot. Here dad sounds just like my Dad pesonality wise. Karen is an ex Nun. I'm going to buy her a ticket with the same numbers because she validated one of my numbers. I'm pretty sure she will go along with my plan.
On Sunday, I want to talk to Bill Hybels about how I can give ALL the money away. I want it to be a group decision as to how the money is given away.
The people I want to talk to besides Hybels are:
Mel Gibson
Jim Cavezel
Mike Eruzioni from 1980 US Olympic Hockey Team
Peter Jackson (director of Lord of the Rings)
Tony Dungee (becky can take care of that)
If possible:
The Clintons
George Bush
Obama
Maybe even:
Jon Bon Jovi
Bono
Ted Nugent
Also, I want to include Pastor Don and Paster Said. They are part of this story as well.
All I want out of the deal is a chance to pursue my gifts God has given me. I want to go to Wheaton College or Trinity where Hybels went and get a masters in Divinity.
Then I'm going to listen to people like I did in order the figure out these numbers. I'm going to humbly follow Jesus whereever he leads me.
I'm hoping that someone will pony up the dough for the "John 3:16 guy" who guessed the lottery numbers on Good Friday, a day that happened to be his 10th anniversary with a woman who works for a Christian Publisher who published books on the the Left Behind series and the Passion. You know, the guy who gave up his lottery winnings to follow Jesus.
Do you think someone might want to read a book written by that guy some day? It's a book by a guy who claims he was "saved" by Gibson's
"Passion". The book has something to do with Movies and Jesus. By the way, Willow Creek started in the movie theater I used to go to as a kid. Details to follow.
Hey maybe someday, my book will become a movie. Wouldn't that be amazing. Dad's dream being lived out by his son.
I'll talk to you today on the phone.
Love,
(author’s name)
