An Appreciation...

Of...

Ego Problems.       Jamzzzzz.       DJ and Tour Guide Lessons.       Cursing.       Elevator of humor.       c-c-cool b-b-b-beans-beans.       Playing the Background.       Frat boys' boxer campus-run-throughs..yikes.       Choir tour "kidnappings."       Stayin' alive.       Scrumptious cupcakes and melting dipped cones.       Stolen golf carts.       Uncle Don bathroom situations.       Mr. Magorium.       Jamz with Cademon's Call, Jars of Clay, Usher, and some loudly yelled curse words.       Blap Blap Blap!       Can I get an Amen, Hello!       Prayer and it's full importance.       A learning of student ministry.       Are you a man, or a muppet??  ...hmmmm.       "Because I'm Oprah!!" and 3 a.m. Walmart runs.       DelTaco late-night convos.       Laughs.       Birds  (Are we talking the animal or the finger here??).       Whore sermons - thanks for letting that be an ok thing. I really like talking about whores...       Date bets and freak-outs.    Candle Vigils.       Trashcan? Hospital.       Expectation of God's movement in student's hearts.       Old-school footprint posters.       Pinching-even though I don't think that "big brothers that I never had (thankfully)" would actually hurt me.       Pregnant with potential and other awkward statements.      Life being not about me or you.       Names that aren't my own proper name (not sure why Beege has grown on me).       Full life.      Mentoring and pastoring.       Cheesy Events.       Andy Stanley mancrushes.       Learning to fully love God, love people.       Zombie obsessions - whether it be sheep or people. Yup.       Allowing God to use you and impacting my life for the Kingdom in big ways that can't be put into simple stories.

Because you're 40 and oh, so old, here are 40 things I fully appreciate about you, and one to grow on.
I'm so thankful to have the opportunity to do ministry with you and to have you as a friend.  (:   beeee!
