When wishes come true....

I'm joining Kristen's Valentine Link Party.....'cause I really love to talk about this guy!

If he were a rock star, he'd be Eddie Vedder.
If he were a drink, he'd be scotch.

If he were a restaurant, he'd be a sports bar.
If he were a animal, he'd be a lion.
If he were a state, he'd be Montana.
If he were an article of clothing, he'd be a leather jacket.
If he were a book of the Bible, he'd be Isaiah.
If he were a politician.....he'd never be a politician.
If he were a car, he'd be a Ford F150.
If he were a superhero, he'd be Spiderman.
If he were an apostle, he'd be Peter.
If he were a food, he'd be a filet.
If he were a color, he'd be black.
If he were a football player, he'd be Brett Favre.
If he were an actor, he'd be Jack Bauer.
If he were a bird, he'd be an eagle.
If he were a tree, he'd be a oak.
He is the real deal. Authentic. Strong. Fierce. Tender. Rugged. Wise. Mysterious. Reflective. Hilarious. Cautious. A man with convictions. Unafraid to be himself. Unable to be false. Ready to learn. Quick to apologize. Taking the road less travelled. And okay with it. Faithful. To. The. End.
If he were a dessert, he'd be chocolate cake. With buttercream icing. Cause that's my favorite.
He is like fresh cool water. He is like reading Mere Christianity for the 10th time and finding new insight and truth over and over again. His hands are pleasantly calloused and his body hard and strong.
His insight is keen and his intellect sharp.
He always smiles when he sees babies. And tears up easier than you'd think.
He is the first person I need to talk to when life isn't fair. And the first person I think of when
joy is unspeakable.
And today is his birthday.
I hope you get everything on your "wishlist" Stevie.

Isa. 61:3  "That they may be called oaks of righteousness,  the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.  They shall build up the ancient ruins, they shall raise up the former devastations; they shall repair the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations."
