In fact, today is the 3rd anniversary of my arrival in Abilene from San Diego. 'd had a tidbit of preview of the blessing it would be to learn from you and the wonderful fellow Highlanders. But the reality is stunning. Thank You, LORD! The anniversary celebration was joyful and belly laugh funny. The kids' book dedicated to you was hilarious. :) May you, Diane, and Chris remain with us many, many more years. That would be blessings upon blessings for us!!

Even in my short tenure of about a year and a half at Highland, I have been blessed by learning from you and your family both at Highland and here on this blog. You are REAL, and I think that is one of the things that makes you so special and so able for God to use you. You have portrayed love, grace, wisdom, compassion, forgiveness, humor, and your servant's heart (among other things), and I thank you for that! :) It was also great singing the Lord's Army!! By the way, if you need to find that white shirt and black pants, I have heard that Wal-mart & Target are good places to shop ;) Many MANY blessings and here is to 15+ more years!!

I know you blessed my wife and me during our time at Highland far more than we could ever have blessed you. Keep us updated on the game tonight.
