HAPPY NON-BIRTHDAY!

Today is a special day-a special non-day. When you are born on February 29th-a Leap Year Baby-the three "Off Years" present a dilemma. When do you celebrate your birthday if it is not Leap Year? Growing up BC's parents celebrated on March 1st. Well technically they were probably correct. When I entered the scene, I always wanted to celebrate on the 28th-always ready to party! Today is the day-the Non-Celebration Day-so HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BC!

A man of many coats and as our dear friend and counsellor told me "The Highest 'I' I have ever known" BC is quite the complex man. An influencer, a leader, a friend, a good boss, a loving Father and Grandfather, a devoted son and brother, and most important a man seeking God-there are more sides to the man than most ever realize. He has spent most of his life taking care of others and putting his own dreams on the back burner. A gifted writer, there has never been time to pursue that "Book in There"; a talented motivational speaker, the time to pursue this dream was enveloped by demands of work, and one that could have climbed that corporate ladder-demands of family kept him close to home. The love and admiration of his children and grandchildren, his family, his employees, his "Small Groups", his friends, his co-workers, his fellow Believers have been his reward for fore-going where he might like to have gone. Hopefully as he looks back today and reflects on past years, he will be reminded of all of those that love him and consider him "Dear".

I especially want "All" of you out there, who are important to "The Man", to know that he prays for you and lifts you "Before the Father" . I cannot think of One thing more important that someone could do for you than pray for you.

Today or Tomorrow-Happy Non-Birthday, BC!
