Especially the big one!!! So I decided to get you three gifts. First, I know how much you love books, so I got you two of the best money can buy. <br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2319/2332/1600/books2.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2319/2332/320/books2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> The second is a picture to put on the wall in your living room. A little bit of Yoder always brightens my day. <br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2319/2332/1600/yoder.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2319/2332/320/yoder.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> And the third gift - well - if I had my wish I would be there with you!!! <br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2319/2332/1600/present1.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2319/2332/320/present1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br />Have a great one, Gene.<br /> <br />Dwayne, Kathy, and kids<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22863393-114109647985441008?l=welovegeno.blogspot.com'/></div>Julihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13622407869987708023noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22863393.post-1141114135948222392006-02-27T18:07:00.000-08:002006-02-28T05:53:36.563-08:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2368/1545/1600/outdoor.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2368/1545/320/outdoor.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Happy Birthday Eugene! (I'm sorry I know it's Gene now but it just sounds weird to say and type for the same reasons it's weird for you to refer to me as Susie not Susan!)<br /><br />I, like PK admire your life and the way you lead it. It has been awesome to see the transformation in both you and Juli over the years. I however will not be taking any credit for you being a disciple of mine!<br /><br />As I think about your birthday and what to get you, I'm reflecting on all the good times spent together in years past. One fond memory is the good ol Doxa days when Juli and I were so sure that each concert would be bigger than the one before. So for your birthday I have decided to give you large venue for you to sing and preach to the "seas of people".<br /><br />I love you and wish God's best for you.<br /><br />Happy 40th,<br />Susan<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22863393-114111413594822239?l=welovegeno.blogspot.com'/></div>kate debaenenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22863393.post-1141129195658419962006-02-27T16:14:00.000-08:002006-02-28T04:30:40.326-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1022/232/1600/DSCN4439.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1022/232/320/DSCN4439.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>We hope you and the Cubs have a great year!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22863393-114112919565841996?l=welovegeno.blogspot.com'/></div>Beckynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22863393.post-1141079547540674432006-02-27T14:18:00.000-08:002006-02-27T19:59:10.153-08:00Eugene, <br /><br />I'm not sure what I can give you that you don't already have:<br /><br />A beautiful, loving wife<br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2319/2332/1600/ShowLetter.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2319/2332/320/ShowLetter.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Three really talented and quite buff musicians to back you up on your virtual stage<br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2319/2332/1600/ShowLetter-2.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2319/2332/320/ShowLetter-2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The hardest working attorney money can or can't buy (I think he takes payment on Nyquil)<br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2319/2332/1600/ShowLetter-3.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2319/2332/320/ShowLetter-3.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />A successful separation from you Siamese twin<br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2319/2332/1600/ShowLetter-4.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2319/2332/320/ShowLetter-4.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Ummm...I don't know what this is<br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2319/2332/1600/ShowLetter-5.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2319/2332/320/ShowLetter-5.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />No...you've probably got it all, Eugene... all except for maybe this rare shot of the best night of your life!<br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2319/2332/1600/ShowLetter-6.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2319/2332/320/ShowLetter-6.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Happy Birthday, Eugene, and let's get together again soon!

It is full of people who love the way you preach and think<br />you are the greatest pastor to walk the earth. In addition, they will multiply to double their size every 2 years. In correlation to the doubled giving every 2 years you will also receive a double in salary every 2 years. They are people who will tell their friends and neighbors how great your church is. Hope you enjoy!<br /><br />Mary Ann<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22863393-114107035884408908?l=welovegeno.blogspot.com'/></div>Julihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13622407869987708023noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22863393.post-1141053804080934072006-02-27T07:23:00.000-08:002006-02-27T07:24:11.336-08:00Happy B-Day to my favorite Madison Church Planter!
