Never Settle...

Brother, you're 30.  I think it's a good number for you.  You know, in case you were wondering.  You have always strived for the best.  In everything.  I so admire that in you...you are more of an inspiration than you know...well, actually, you probably do know.  I'd say you're pretty self-assured and realistic...

Lover of the Best Wife and the Best Dog (still can't believe you are a dog-lover, well Kansas at least)

Family...

Your Boys...

And golf...

Fun and Genuine...

You are an amazing person and I am so proud to call you my brother and have you as a friend. I absolutely love what you wrote a few years ago (yes, I got it off of Facebook). If anything could capture you in a nutshell, it would be this:

"Donald Miller in his book Blue Like Jazz states that "What I believe is not what I say I believe; what I believe is what I do." So in light of this new look on BELIEF, I am not sure that all of these things are what i do, but maybe just what i am aspiring to do, so in turn one day truly believe."

"I believe in Jesus Christ, in force balks and delay steals when runners are on 1st and 3rd. I believe in improving your lie in the fairway and the rough, and that we have been given every spiritual blessing (Eph 1:3) so there is no need for us to ask God to bless us, He already has. I believe in pitching backwards, I believe that you really will use what you learned in math class. I believe in using mulligans and if the mulligan is worse than your first shot then it doesn't count and that God shows more power through allowing us to make our own decisions than he would if he controlled them. I believe that we all have a thirst and God longs to satisfy it. I believe there are good curveball hitters, but no one hits a good curveball. I believe that golf is the only game that you can play, but never win, and that Pro Wrestling is real(not really but just thought I would add that). I believe in being honest, in throwing sliders, in stealing home, and that through a relationship with Jesus Christ is the only way experience an eternal, abundant, and fulfilled life."

You're also pretty good at predicting things, I guess...I'll never bet against you.

Love you, Titus!  Happy Birthday!
