Happy birthday Pepper Liddell, one of my favorite and one of the most influential women in my life. There. I said it! (I hope you screenshot this Pepper, because it ain't happening again.)

It is fitting that her birthday falls in proximity to our wedding anniversary because without her, we wouldn't be here. It's like God ordained it beforehand, before my wife and I married, before we met the Liddell's and became students in their marriage ministry, before this wonderful woman was even born who is now celebrating 75 years! 75 years where?! (dang it, I was nice again).

We would have definitely been in Atlanta to celebrate this momentous occasion with you if we had not been traveling, celebrating the marriage you, by God's lavish grace through you, helped to preserve. We love you, honor you and pray that God our Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, grants you the grace for many more wonderful birthdays!
