Hi Andy,
Happy Birthday and welcome to the 50 and over club!!!
It's really kind of cool as you can now say things like "when I was your age", blah,blah,blah.
But seriously, I just wanted you to know that Tim and I are blessed to have you as our church family elder and a friend. I have come to realize (in my later years) that my greatest blessings from the Lord have come from my relationships with others. You and Vickie are one of those blessings.
May the Lord bless you and yours in the years ahead.
Love ya,
your sister in Christ,
Kenna
