Happy birthday, Neil!

Life again has been busy here, but I decided to take a few minutes out of my usually hectic morning to acknowledge a special occasion.

Neil Enloe is not only one of my most loyal readers here and friends to boot, but he is truly a living gospel music legend. And today, the former Couriers' lead singer turned 70 years young.

Neil acknowledged my 50th birthday this past May 16th in this very corner of the web...so it's only fair that I return the favor on his big day!

By any standards, Neil is a man truly blessed. Most people who visit here know of his numerous accomplishments in gospel music...his Dove awards, and his many years singing and writing with one of gospel music's finest and most acclaimed groups, but ask Neil, and he'll tell you that's all well and good, but there are many other things that are more important to him than even personal recognition for his many talents.

Their names are Ruth, Beth, Heidi, and Tim. And he is justly grateful for people such as Don Baldwin, Duane Nicholson, Dave Kyllonen, Eddie Reece, Jerry Evans, L.David Young, and Eddie Hawks...treasured colleagues, mentors, and friends in his long ministerial service.

And he is equally thankful for his parents, who molded and shaped his values and instilled a love for God and others into him. Likewise, his siblings(all still with us!)...Charlotte, Dave, Bob, Phil, and Dan...all Godly people like him, and people who have enriched his life and many others.

And finally, he is grateful to God for good health and good friends that he has made here, there, and everywhere in a long life of service to Jesus Christ.

So happy birthday, Neil....and here's to many more years of service and blessings. Thanks for what you've shown and given me.
