Pastor Appreciation Month

Thanks to everyone who sent cards, e-mails, called with a "phone hug" or stopped me to share appreciation this month. I am always amazed at the outpouring of love and support. Let me share a few that just stand out to me. First, my small group! Wow, what a generous outpouring of love toward Jen and I! Thanks for the gift certificates and free babysitting. You will be hearing from us soon. Secondly, I found an anonymous envelope today with my name and a smiley face on it and $50 inside! It was perfect and came at just the right time! Finally, well, I guess pictures would tell a better story on this one. It had to do with my office and lots of balloons. By the way, the only person I can "blame" on this is Jacky Burgjohann, so, THANKS JB (and many others)!
