Barbara is one of my very dearest friends – not in the high school, “best friend” way – but in the accountability, “makes me a better person way”. I admire her more than she will ever know. She is held in exceedingly high esteem by all who know her. I have known her for many years – she babysat my oldest daughter – wow! But it has only been in the past few years that I have been blessed to know her on a level that is based on the way Christ commanded us to love others and make all those around us stronger in faith. Barbara does this for me. Once, last year sometime, when I was going through an unpleasant illness and Barbara was praying for me, she quoted the scripture that says, “….because we are wonderfully and fearfully made.” Psalms 139:14. Wow – I will never forget her affirming me before the Lord like that. I gained instant peace from my health worry. I’m telling you folks – if you don’t know Barbara – you should. She is one of the people I thank the Lord for over and over. I love her.

And one the coolest things about her is how much she knows about sports, particularly all things Titans, Predators and Vandy – we agree on two out three of the teams and it’s SO cool to talk sports with another girl who really knows what’s going on!

Today is her birthday – I must be honest and tell you that her name draw was not random today – wish her a Happy Day!

Pray - Barb does!
