Phil. 2: 12
”  Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed – not only in my presence,
but now much more in my absence – CONTINUE TO WORK OUT  ( TUG) your own
salvation with fear and trembling.”

Today, Tug, you turn 33…..
Jesus –  33 yrs. on this earth

You have been working it out…..all 33….I have watched you.
YOU LOVE PEOPLE…..you will talk to, care deeply for people inidividually…
YOU LOVE YOUR FAMILY …..Angie – to the depths of your heart
Morgan, Reesey, Tanner – you would give your life.
YOU LOVE YOUR FAMILY ….it was a joy to watch you and Gabe grow up together….
your compassion started at birth….your desire was and is for Gabe…
to know you love him.
Your music, the concerts –  you have always… went for the xtreme of knowing or getting
to know – known people….NOW YOU KNOW WHY….
Your mind works the system intelligently ….you know how to make contact, and get a result.

I have always said….you are a duck…..God – through MANY circumstances…..has developed
a skin on you ….” that lets it roll off of you”…..( sometimes even as it hurts )
What others have thot of you
What others thot you ought to be doing
How others thot you ought to be acting
How others thot your life should be “working out”

YOU have ONE CREATOR….

” work out”……                                     I  am.
