I didn’t get online yesterday after church simply because I needed some rest and time to unplug, so I didn’t get the chance to write on here about my little Drew’s birthday.<\/p>\n

Four years ago yesterday, God so richly blessed Karen and me with a little bundle named Andrew David Price. \u00a0A “Daddy’s boy” from the start, he has been so much fun and makes me smile all the time (except when he doesn’t!….and I guess that’s to be expected sometimes.) \u00a0I am a blessed man, indeed, and little Drew is much of the reason for that.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Drew, my prayer for you is that you grow to be a man who loves Jesus with all your heart and lives to serve Him, blessed by Him and a vessel of mercy for Him. \u00a0I want you to know that I will ALWAYS be here for you as long as God gives me breath. \u00a0You give me so much joy and I thank you for loving me so much in return. \u00a0By God’s grace, I look forward to all the things we will experience together as you grow into all that God has for you. \u00a0Happy birthday, son. \u00a0I love you with all my heart!<\/p>\n
