Today is my son
Christopher's 12th birthday! A 12 year old and a 16
year old and now I'm 40 - wow, life just seems to
be zooming by so fast (my only saving grace is that
Jeff & Prisca are now GRANDPARENTS!). But you
know what? I'm enjoying every minute of it and it
just seems to get better and better. I am truly a
blessed man! I am married to the most awesome woman
on the planet. I have the two best kids I could
ever imagine. I pastor the most loving group of
people I could dream of. And I have some of the
best friends a man has ever been surrounded with.
Every day I am overwhelmed with God's love, grace,
and mercy toward me, my family, and our church. And
every day I believe the best is yet to come - for
me, my family, and our church.
Christopher - I
just want to tell you how much I love you. I could
not ask for a better son. The young man you are and
are becoming is truly amazing. I am so proud of
you! I love your sense of humor. I love your laugh.
I love it when you go to church early with me on
Sunday mornings and help me get things ready. I
love playing ping-pong with you (you will never
beat me). I love your servant's heart. I love how
you take care of the girls when I'm gone. I love to
listen to you pray for other people. I love your
big vision for our church. Whether it's
paintballing, playing basketball, fishing, golfing,
going to the movies, watching Clemson football
games, cutting the grass, praying, walking, eating
crab legs, grilling out, flipping channels, ragging
each other out, or a thousand other little things,
simply put, you are one of my favorite people to
just hang out with and you always will be! You will
make a great Pastor one day! Happy Birthday! I love
you!
