Today’s Jarod’s Birthday!!!
Happy Birthday, Darling!!
Today is my sweetheart’s 28th birthday and I’ve highjacked his xanga. 
(a girl’s got to do what a girl’s got to do) 
So, please leave him lots of comments, letting him know what he means to you and helping to make this a grand day of days for him.
Jarod, Feb 13th will forever be one of my favorite days, for it (along with your sweet mom) gave me the man of my dreams! Have a WONDERFUL day… (aahh I’ve got to get…he’s getting up in 5 minutes….)

Praise the Lord who has called us out of darkness into His marvelous light! Standing firm in the faith, may you shine in the midst of this wicked generation in the name of Jesus, proclaiming the good news of God; reconciliation to the Father, and eternal life through His Son to all those who believe!
Happy Birthday, my brother.

Jarod – We trust that you had a great day! May the LORD richly bless you and your little family as you serve HIM! We have the greatest memories of our time with you and your parents/family in Fredericksburg! God Bless you! (We would love to meet Anna and Zeke if you are ever out Indianapolis way!)
Hope you had a great birthday! I didn’t procrastinate too much, I still have sixty-two minutes…
Happy Birthday, dear one. Our family was forever blessed not so very long ago. We hope this has been a grand day indeed.
You are loved.
Happy Birthday Jarod! God has used you in the past to give me hope that there was more to the Christian life than what I was experiencing. For that, I am very grateful! May the Lord continue to abundantly bless you and your family!

What a great highjacking! You did a good job, Anna-my dear new daughter. I know you had a good birthday (at least you said so when we talked to you
) I even saw this post before most everyone else-I know, I’m one of those ones that “hits-and-runs”
. But as I looked agian I just wanted the whole world to know that I was so very wonderfully blessed 28 years ago and it hasn’t ended yet! Thank you, Jarod, for making such good choices throughout your life. 
I love you-my dear first born! 
(Since Dec. 9, you know how very much) Happy Birthday and Happy Year! Lovingly, Your Mother.
Now, Anna, don’t forget that, although “his sweet mom” was the primary bearer of this gift from the Lord we know as Jarod, Dad’s usually help a little, too. (Don’t we, Jarod?!)
Of course, our greatest praise goes to our Lord. Most people that Jarod knows today do not realize that he very nearly died a few days after birth. At about the darkest point, at the encouragement of our dear pastor, we litterally released Jarod, in prayer, back to God, and prepared in our hearts to lose him. God graciously and miraculously restored him, however, and we took him home about a week later. Interesting that part of his name (middle: “Thomas”) means “double blessing” since God gave him to us once, we then released him back to God, and God gave him back to us again – making his coming to us a “double blessing” indeed back on that very important time in February, 1980. God bless you all (all three of you) as you move through this/his life together.
Love,
A very proud Dad (and Happy Birthday!!)
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY Odward!!!!!! Hope it was wonderful!!! have a great God honoring year!
