One nice thing about a message board is that no one can hear you when you sing.

Happy Birthday to you,

Dear Shawn,

I'm very proud of the Godly young man you have grown to be. I pray, "The LORD bless you, and keep you; The LORD make His face shine on you, And be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance on you, And give you peace." (Numbers 6:24-26).

Love Dad

Thank you very much. I think its obviouse when I say, I sure didn't expect this. =-)

Love Shawn.

Well hi Shawn, and how does it feel to have been with another birthday? , so you just go on and? , bye the way which one is it?

love always, Fr:

Thank you Walter. I am 25. Going from 24 to 25 feels like a much bigger change then the last 3 or 4 B-days. However I notice that every time I say that in a group setting, I don't get much sympathy from people older then me. =-)

Well! hi Shawn again! but I thank God for your attitude my Bro. in Christ, Ok! and since we of age do have a few more yrs. our way as such, but I tell you of a truth, that had been shared by your Dad, ok! for encouragement in a life to consider, but not in agreement with everything said is most important to learn the context of the holy scriptures as a epistle! oh boy what a duty, ok? , and we love you as a brother in Christ.

Fr:

Wishing you a Happy 25th Birthday! You have been a great blessing to many –

To add to your father's blessing --

NAU Psalm 1:1-3
How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers! But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers.

NAU Proverbs 8:34-35
Blessed is the man who listens to me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at my doorposts.

May the Lord command His blessing over you.

Shawn, I am proud of you - it is not everyday that someone comes along & ministers to me with either sound scripture, or a good word from the heart as you have (on many an occasion by now). It always makes my heart glad to see people younger than me with a heart for God; it means I am not the babyhead anymore (lol) - keep up the good work! Stay focused on our heavenly father & the trials of your youth will pass with you emerging like purified gold. =)

Thank you both for the encouraging words.
