Brandon
Happy 20th Birthday!!!
Dear Brandon,
For your birthday, the Joedaddy and I would like to take the time to share a few things with you. {You can hardly contain the excitement, right?}
Buckle up, you’re going for a ride!!! Just kidding.
Although it is not commonly practiced today even among Christians, when seeking courtship with a young woman, a gentleman or “suitor” would ask the permission and seek the advice of the young woman’s father. While we certainly don’t want to imply the level of seriousness of your relationship, we do want you to know that in the short time that we’ve come to know you, you’ve gained the trust of the Joedaddy. This is not given freely.
So, Happy Birthday! Go on and celebrate!!
Seriously. . .
Your parents have done well and should be proud. What we’ve observed foremost about you is your determination to seek the heart of God. Nothing is more important. It is apparent that you will not settle for less than God’s best. Maintaining a 4.0 grade point average in college while working does not come easy for a young man. {Not that I would know firsthand. I mean, I’m not even a man.}
As a parent, I want nothing less than God’s best for my girls. This requires a dedication and determination that many Christians lack today. I’m grateful for your drive to succeed and I pray you’ll never settle. But before your head explodes, I’ll add that we’ve also had the opportunity to learn a little about your weaknesses. And that’s not such a bad thing. Time reveals these things in all relationships. I’ve taught the girls to know their weaknesses because we can be certain the enemy knows them. It’s apparent that you are well aware of yours and for that, I am so grateful. And I should probably add that we are also well aware that you’ve learned one or four of Courtney’s. You don’t have to answer that. Just a little observation. {wink}
You should also know that I’ve taught Courtney to watch how a man treats his mother. A lot can be said for that. So just so you know—she’s watching. And I think you’re safe there. You’d better be.
We want to thank you for taking the time to get to know us, for playing Apples to Apples with us in spite of Courtney’s poor sportsmanship and for paying extra attention to Sophie. It’s been our pleasure. It truly has.
Now. . .
having said that, I’d like to remind you that Courtney is of utmost importance to us. If you hurt her in any way, Joedaddy will cut you.
I’m just kidding.
Well, only a little.
I pray this year is your very best yet and that you grow richly in Christ. Our expectations lie only within His plans for both of you.
Happy Birthday!!!
We love you,
the Joedaddy and Mrs. Rena
P.S.
I’ve considered doing a blog series on “Courting Courtney.” It has a certain ring to it, doesn’t it? So if you happen to notice cameras or the taking of notes, just carry on, as you were. . .

on TV, thus I only use world wide web for that purpose, and
obtain the most recent information.

Welcher Baum eignet sich? Leider ist die Mühe des Umsetzens
nicht immer gelungen, denn viele Topfbäume gehen auch bei guter Pflege ein. Bei Freilandbäumen, die
erst kurz vor dem Verkauf in ein Gefäß gesetzt
werden, haben häufig die Wurzeln gelitten und die Bäume verdursten trotz ausreichender Wasserversorgung.
Achten Sie beim Kauf zudem darauf, dass die Ballengröße unteilbar
guten Verhältnis zur Höhe des Baumes steht. Wählen Sie deshalb ein Bäumchen, das im Topf herangezogen wurde.
Bis zu den Weihnachtstagen in der Kälte Freiland und dann sofort ins Festzimmer gebracht: Diesen Schock überleben Topfbäume nur selten. So können Sie recht Erkenntnisse haben, dass das Wurzelwerk gesund ist.
Der Tannenbaum befindet sich ja in der Winterruhe und wird
quasi übergangslos damit Sommer konfrontiert. Stellen Sie ihn deshalb einige Tage an einen schattigen aber frostfreien Platz,
beispielsweise in die Garage. Ziehen Sie das Bäumchen darauffolgend ins kühle Treppenhaus um.
Die hier herrschende Durchschnittstemperatur sollte bei etwa 15 Grad liegen. Frühestens einen Tag vor Heiligabend dürfen Sie den Weihnachtsbaum im Festzimmer aufstellen, wo er nicht mehr als
zehn Tage verbleiben sollte. Der kleine Baum
sollte aber auch nicht dauerhaft nasse Füße haben,
denn das führt häufig zu Wurzelfäule. Empfehlenswert ist es, den Ballen vorm Schmücken in Wasser
zu tauchen bis keine Luftblasen mehr aufsteigen. Wichtig ist es, dass der Topfballen niemals ganz austrocknet.
Gießen Sie dann, getreu Wasserbedarf, mindestens jeden zweiten Tag und achten Sie dabei darauf, dass keine Flüssigkeit im
Untersetzer stehen bleibt. Sorgen Sie durch tägliches
Besprühen der Nadeln für ausreichende Luftfeuchtigkeit.
Gewöhnen Sie den Baum nach den Festtagen wieder behutsam
nahezu kalten Temperaturen im Freiland. Auspflanzen dürfen Sie ihn, sobald kein Nachtfrost mehr droht.
As the admin of this web site is working, no question very rapidly it will be
well-known, due to its quality contents.
Hi, just wanted to tell you, I loved this article.
It was practical. Keep on posting!
Hello there, I believe your website could be having browser compatibility problems.
When I take a look at your site in Safari, it looks fine however, when opening
in IE, it has some overlapping issues. I just wanted to
give you a quick heads up! Aside from that, great blog!
Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed.
There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!
LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point.
You obviously know what youre talking about, why throw away
your intelligence on just posting videos to your weblog when you could be giving us
something enlightening to read?
Generally I do not learn article on blogs, however I would like to say that this
write-up very forced me to try and do it! Your
writing style has been surprised me. Thanks, quite nice article.
Hello, always i used to check webpage posts here early in the break
of day, because i love to find out more and more.
