What A Great Collection Of Liars!

My wife lied to me. She said "I just think you ought to go and spend some time with your nephew Jimmy tonight. I'm just going to stay home."

My nephew lied to me. He said, "So, have you heard from your old friend Mark? I wonder where that guy is these days? What's it been, 10 years since we've seen him?"

My daughter lied to me. She said, "Dad, my dance class will let out at 9 tonight. I'll call you if the plan changes."

My wife lied to me some more. "I drove Katie to youth group at the church and left the lights on in the van. I have a dead battery - will you come and jump the van?"

The Bible says: Thou shalt not lie. You're all sinners.

Good news! Jesus paid the price for your deceit... and I benefited by it. I'm thankful to each and every one of you! I love you all!

Thanks to a wonderful church family for being in on the surprise, for all the help you offered Shari in pulling a fast one on me, for the wonderful cards and gifts - and for wading through rivers to share a very special evening with me.

Thanks to a wonderful Mom, Sister, and Nephew for hopping a flight to New Hampshire during the middle of our Nor'easter to surprise me.

Thanks to my old friend Mark for traveling to 'Seattle', and for being to my right on stage the other night... just like old times.

Thanks to my 3 Chords mates for surrounding me with real talent. Who was that bass player with the mullet? Does he own a van? Sign him up!

Thanks to the girls who spoke of 'big buts' and then donned big butts to bring me a smile (and for making everyone reading this blog who missed that scene wonder what in the world I am talking about!!!)

Thanks to my girls for the wonderful artwork and hard work in making this day for me. I love you all - and I am very proud of each of you.

Thanks to the love of my life Shari! You got me... my turn. I love you.
