Happy Birthday Nathan!



Tomorrow, April 2 is Nathan's 27th birthday.

You never know looking at a little baby what God has in store. You just hope and pray that as a parent you don't screw things up. It's a good thing God picked out Gail for his mom!

The picture is of Nathan on a soccer missions trip to St. Lucia in 1997, sharing his faith with some local boys after a soccer clinic. Note he still sports the same hairdo.

Your 27th year has certainly not been boring! Wouldn't it be great if God gave you the biggest surprise birthday present ever tomorrow? It could happen! But even if it doesn't, I hope it's a great day in every way.

You and Gwyneth have a party together tomorrow celebrating birthdays.

Love you!

Dad
(Your mom loves you, too. But this ain't her blog.)

Well ain't this special. Happy Birthday Nate! Along with your Dad, ( and Mom too ) I pray for a special bithday surprise for you and your family. I think that despite your Dad's comments, you got a pretty good dose of the good stuff from both Rick and Gail.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATE! May this coming year be counted among the best in your life. May God continue to gift you with His wisdom, and may He do greater works in your family than you could ever ask or imagine.

Would you mind predicting what I have in store???!!!

Wouldn't it be yet another miracle if you were right? We're all praying thru tears here...

I'm sure Nate is who he is today because of your wonderful influence. (and as a wife, I'm sure you are who you are because of your WIFE!!! ha ha!)

Always enjoy reading, thank you!

Well, this is Nate's birthday and it looks like Trish is headed to the ER getting new lungs. God is good.

Praising God with you that Nathan is getting the most amazing present today!! Isn't is wonderful that God had all the details worked out even to the timing of Tricia's new lungs arriving on Nate's B-day. Praise God!
Praying in PA for Tricia, Nate and the rest of the family
