Moments

Today is a big day for Sue.  Not a lot of people can say they have served in the same church for 25 years!  That is very impressive.  So here are 25 things I love about Sue:

1. She loves the Lord.
2. She loves the word of God.
3. She loves the church of God, especially First Trinity.
4. She has a great sense of humor.  Of course, that is a necessity around this place.
5. She is a phenomenal process person, which is important to have at least one person on staff like that.
6. She is competitive.  Of course, the way she plays cards, well never mind.
7. She genuinely loves the staff she works with, especially the lead pastor.
8. She is a great faith coach.
9. She feels guilty when she picks on me – as well she should.
10. She loves my whole family.
11. She prays for Wisken and Lovelie.
12. It was great to watch her grow during our Israel trip.
13. She has a contagious faith.
14. She is a great friend.
15. She has awesome ideas.
16. I love her children’s messages.
17. She is a great Bible teacher.
18. She is a wonderful encourager.
19. She has the respect of the whole Synod – which means I can drop her name in groups and it just makes me seem better than I am.
20. She makes me better than I am.
21. It is fun to watch her get excited about something.  She can’t contain her joy, which is fun.  She let’s her emotions show, which is a nice quality.
22. I can talk to her and she will always be truthful.
23. She loves the children, and especially her God-children.
24. She reads a lot, which means she can recommend good books.  Of course, sometimes she reads those silly chick-books.
25. She is my eternal friend.

Sue, thanks for all you do.  You show us Christ in so many ways.  Sure, maybe not in the way you play (gun for me undeservedly) at cards, but in so many other ways.  You’re the best.
