Uncle Tim,
Where do I start? Perhaps it is the trip to the Carolinas where you and my father-in-law bought the America t-shirts and did the infamous salute. Maybe it’s saving the drunken sailor in Jordan Lake only to be cussed out by him the following summer. It could be the gentle prayers for people dealing with difficult situations. The point is you are a fun-loving guy who is willing to help anyone at anytime.
Happy 60th Birthday! When I look at you, I see a man that loves to have fun but more importantly, a man who loves his family. I see a man that would give you the shirt off his back. I see a man who reads, truly understands and applies love your neighbor as yourself. I see a man that gives his all to help a cause, one who does things not for his own glory but to glorify God.
There are certainly the boat rides in the summertime and the late night games at the lake that are a lot of fun. I remember a day when Ryan Nemeth, Andrew and I initiated a three-man tube and it seemed like we went for hours. Oh what fun! We’ve all spent many a night playing Euchre, Texas, Hearts until 5 or 6 the following morning. The memories are priceless.
It has been said that the greatest form of flattery is imitation. My goal is to imitate you in the way you love your family and demonstrate God’s love to other people. Hope your birthday returns all the love and joy you’ve given to others.
Happy Birthday and God Bless!
Jason
