Nate

Today I am writing about Nate. Here he is in the moment of teaching at youth. He is such a great leader and friend to us all. He loves sharing what he is learning and what God is showing him. He truly takes the servant leader approach in his lifestyle. He always wants to put others first and as he would say "Get in the ditch with them". One thing is for sure, if he knows you and loves you, he will fight for you with whatever obstacle is in the way.

Nate is also a fun loving crazy guy who loves to make people laugh... he will do some little crazy dance in the middle of a restaurant, or sing at the top of his lungs to get you going. Recently, we went to see my cousins, Adam and Paul, at a Gardner Webb football game. At the game Nate shouted loud enough he got picked to play deal or no deal. It was even more exciting when he got the entire stadium involved in yelling and helping him choose what chic-fila prize he wanted. It was so funny that I had friends I hadn't seen in years on the opposing team say they heard it and thought... that must be Joni's husband... and they had never met him before either. All this to say Nate is such a wonderful guy and today the whole world will know why :)
