Today I turn 55

Today is my birthday. I am grateful to so many people for making my life so rich and full. I am thankful to my parents for raising me right. I am thankful to my wife for her devotion and commitment to me and my children. I am thankful to my six children who put a smile on my face (at least most of the time!) I am thankful to my extended family for their support and encouragement. I am thankful to the family of Vineyard Community Church, you have let me be the pastor of the greatest church for my entire career. I am grateful to the many friends I have made and the great times we have had together. But most of all I am truly grateful to God who took the time to rescue me when I was a lost and wandering 19 year old hippie! Wow what a great life!
