Josh turned 40 yesterday!

He's always said he couldn't wait to be 40. Ever since we were doing ministry in Upper Heyford, England and parents would walk into youth group and look around for the leaders, look right at us and keep on looking; Josh has said that he'll be glad when he finally turns 40. Well, yesterday he did. And I think you'll permit me to say he's still got it!
We celebrated all week! We had a team meeting where we featured cherry pie instead of birthday cake. A tradition for us when we celebrate Josh. Then our friends the Jackson family and the Okorn family prepared a delicious meal with a buffet of foods you could eat with your fingers. (Josh has been into dipping his food since he and Terry were roommates in college!) And then last night was chicken faijtas and American Idol with me and the kids. He didn't party too long since there were still loose ends to tie up and the next morning he had an early departure for this years Global Youth Inititive conference in Israel. It's nice when your job takes you to exotic places!
Happy Birthday Josh!
