In just two days, Michelle is having a birthday…another one! (Just kidding honey!) What you may not know is that…
My wife of nearly 20 years is quite an amazing person. It’s simple really, what you see is what you get. That smile you see on her face is genuine. That hunger to meet and talk to people is real. (Actually, she’s a social animal—can you say EXTROVERT!) The way she makes people feel at ease and welcome is just the way I’ve seen her in action for two decades.
While not trying to embarrass her, I just want to use this public forum to say to her…(and the rest of you can just listen in)…I LOVE YOU, MICHELLE. Thanks for loving, supporting and being patient with me. Thank you most of all for being in love with Jesus. That love is what drew me to you in the first place and it just shows on your face when you sing, that’s for sure!
One more thing...I'm NOT saying how old she is
. She's already going to kill me for posting her picture here!

no way, dude! you could not have been married to this gorgeous doll for that long! she can't be over 29 years old! and we know that your kids were dropped off by the stork after they were potty-trained....
Happy Birthday, Michelle!!! Hope you have the best day ever! Hope you know how much YOU ARE LOVED by the rest of us. I thank God for the day that He placed you on the planet!
Husbands, take a lesson - public "i love you"s are platinum.
Happy Birthday Michelle!!!
John is a wonderful pastor to this church. I want to take a page out of his book.
My wife, Kristina, is the most wonderful wife, mom and my best friend. She carries me when I am down and I do the same for her. We have been married for 13 years and these have been the best years of my life. I prayed my whole life for a godly wife and I found her at Point Loma Nazarene College during the fall of 1992. I read somewhere what Steve Carrell said about he and his wife and that is "to have a healthy marriage you need to make each other laugh." She loves my jokes and I love her great laugh. We found this church 2 years ago and it has strengthened our relationship with each other and God.
I love Kristina with all my heart and I will continue to for the rest of my life.
Happy Birthday Michelle! We feel honored to be a part of your church family. You and John are "wonderful" disciples of Christ. Have a Blessed Birthday :o)
Happy Belated Birthday Michelle!!
You are so humble and sincere. You are appreciated. John is a very Blessed man and we are Blessed to have you.
Peace, Love, and Bobby Sherman (I am certain this mantra is well before your time. =-} )
Actually...Michelle totally gets the "Bobby Sherman" reference! I'm just sayin'...
Happy belated Birthday to Michelle. I am sorry I did not check in sooner. I need to mark this day down for next year. When is your birthday John?
John, you are a very lucky man. I am always telling Debbie that Michelle must be a remarkable woman just to be a pastor’s wife and everything else she has going on. Being a pastor’s wife is usually a full time job all by itself.
I am so glad that Debbie and Michele have become friends. I cannot even begin to thank Michelle enough for all she has done for us. Debbie’s relationship with Christ is growing more because of her fellowship with Michelle and the other women in the group, but Michele has really became more than a friend for Debbie. I also thank God for Michele. She has helped me it getting substitute teaching jobs, and for that we are truly thankful. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHELLE. God Bless you both!
Michelle: Happy Birthday! (I won't tell how old you really are) Thank you for my Monday nights. I know you and Lisa have to put in a lot of time to make it happen. "Body and Soul" has helped me to grow in Christ. I have also gained many friends who truly care about me. John is right, Michelle is as genuine as it gets. Fellowship is what it's all about! Hope you had a great birthday. Have a great week!
In his name..
Debbie
Michelle, I am so sorry it took me this long to say "Happy belated birthday". I really miss spending my Monday nights with you. You have truly helped me grow and establish a relationship with the Lord and you are truly what John says: a genuine and remarkable woman. You are my inspiration to want to become more like Jesus. I hope John waited on you hand and foot on your birthday. You truly deserve it! Thanks for being there and being my mentor and sister in Christ!
In His name,
Michelle
