Born 8 days after the very first service of our first church plant in South Lousiana, which started in an un-air conditioned fire station.

• Because his dad’s a church planter, until he was four we would drive past a fire station and he would yell “church” and when we drove by a steepled church building he would yell “space ship.”
• Because his dad’s a church planter, the first time we attended a church besides ours on Sunday, he asked where their fire truck was and why their chairs were so long (pews).
• Because his dad’s a church planter, he likes to hang out in coffee shops and has great bedside manner in hospitals.
• Because his dad’s a church planter, he doesn’t have as much as many kids in our area, but never complains.
• Because his dad’s a church planter, he doesn’t know that you shouldn’t wear shorts to church or that you shouldn’t be close friends with people of another race or class.
• Because his dad’s a church planter, he knows who Rick Warren & John Piper are, & asked every Friday morning, “Do we have a Block Party this weekend?”

HE TURNED TEN YESTERDAY and I’m looking forward to seeing what God does in the future with this church planter’s kid. Happy Birthday Jack!!!!!
