my brother = one very cool guy!!!

today is my brother's birthday and in celebration of it... i would like to say...


i have the coolest brother in the whole world...

and... i love him a whole lot... i have posted an entry before about how cool he is... but that doesn't compare to knowing him... today in theology we learned about how knowing about God is different than knowing God... which is so true... and pretty much rocked my thought processes (in a good way)... there's so much i want to say about theology - but today is about celebrating my cool little brother... and knowing stuff about him is different than knowing him... and i love that when i talk about my brother, i talk with much emotion and enthusiasm... why? because he has had great impact on my life... i just love how earthly relationships we have can have deep impact on our lives... well, that's my brother for you... God has used him in so many ways to help me to grow and learn... and i'm so thankful for his willingness to go and do ministry, even when it's not what he expected and when it's really tough... his courage is huge... and his charisma is contagious... i love my brother!!!
