\"Lyn<\/a> So, one of the nicest people ever, in the whole wide world, just turned 50. I\u2019ve known her for probably 20 or more of those years. She has been on staff at Hope Chapel, helping keep the place running, helping keep the children\u2019s ministry operating smoothly, loving people, loving kids, …\u00a0 well, doing everything in the most joyful, loving way imaginable.<\/p>\n

The Hope Chapel office was always bright and happy when she was around. (Come to think of it though, that’s the way I think it is, anyway but she made it better.)\u00a0\u00a0 Now, she works at the Texas State School for the Blind. I haven\u2019t been to her classroom, but I suspect it is an equally joyous place. (in that frantic, laughing way). I\u2019m glad she is there and using her gifts to bless the students and the faculty.<\/p>\n

She was born on Cinco De Mayo, which explains something, but I\u2019m not quite sure what.\"DSC_0007\"<\/a> This year’s celebration was delayed until Saturday night (you know, the even more special Nueve de Mayo) so everyone could come and the yard of Tim and Debbie Bjork would be appropriately decorated and lovely. The decorations were fabulous, the food was outstanding (nice job on the paella, by the way, it was soooo good). And we met people from Lyn\u2019s three main spheres, the Valley, Hope Chapel and the School for the Blind. What a good community of friends.<\/p>\n

I hadn\u2019t met many of her co-workers before, and they are an outstanding group. Such a fine bunch of people who serve special needs people in a wonderful way. What a great job you are doing. Kudos to all of you and blessings on you. We loved meeting you.<\/p>\n

In the end, Happy Birthday, Lyn<\/strong>. Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday. 50 is nifty, really. It is a mark of achievement. It comes with acres of friends and community who are testimonials to your character, to your loving friendship, to the YOU we all know and love. We think you are fabulous and we don\u2019t care who knows it :). Here\u2019s to 50 more great years, you\u2019re just getting started.\u00a0 (Yeah, I got lots more pictures of the party. \u00a0 More pictures in my album here<\/a>)<\/p>\n

I also made a video using this cool web site called animoto.com.\u00a0 Here’s the video: ..
