I turned 49 on Thursday and on reflection similarly deeply grateful for God’s hand in my life and times, which of course includes your influence at a particularly impressionable stage whilst a student at Stellenbosch. I am heartened by the realisation that God’s work in my marriage, family, church and career have prepared me for this moment on the cusp of a new decade. Let’s make it a good one. Time to really get this show on the road! See you in another ten?

Interesting how you listed relationships above career. I think that’s true for most of us as the years roll by.

As Graham Maybury says, turning a year older is better than the alternative. My sense Brian is that you are just starting! Your effectiveness is growing, not diminishing. In fact the best is yet to come. Thankyou for your faithfulness, passion and unwavering hope.

I share a common sense of thankfulness as I reflect on my life, though SIGNIFICANTLY shorter!
Thanks for those years and moments that we have shared together.
My life has been enriched by your presence along the journey.

Grace and Peace
