Tomorrow, September 9th, is my fantastic husband’s Birthday. He’ll be turning 31 tomorrow and he likes to rub in that I’m 2 months older. So, if you get a chance, please take the time to call, email, e-card, or whatever you can creatively think of to wish him a happy birthday. He really likes birthdays and he especially loves the attention on his birthday. I feel so blessed to have him in my life!

Kelly gave me so much trouble for not calling you or getting on her facebook to wish you a happy birthday!!! I hope you had a great one. Also, I hope you enjoyed our house. It is sooo uncluttered now. All I have left to purge is Kimberly’s old room. I apologize that it was in such disarray. It has never been that messy in the 22 years we have lived in it. We were just out of town way more than ever. Safe travel to you!!!
Chris,
HAPPY BD! I am also a few months younger than my wife barb and love to remind her of this. I hope you had a great day!
I was excited to read that you got to experience prison ministry. I only got to attend a closing of Kairos but it was awesome and scary.
We feel the same about Jenny leaving for 9 months to join you in J-Bay but alot more emphasis on the awesome emotion. We really appreciate the love and wisdom that you will be pouring into her and all the other team members.
Thanks for your service!
