“If men of God were rivers, I think our Creator might have laid you out in place of the Mekong. Profound & prolific, embattled & scarred, cross-cultural, and purpose-created to transform the lives of all those along your shore, I have always found you to be genuine marvel of depth in shallow times. I thank God for the way you have poured into my family, and pray that God use your birthday as the start of a deluge that will fill you with abundance overflowing.”

I don’t think I need to add to this. Happy Birthday Pop!
