Happy Birthday Leanna!

Today is my friend Leanna Chuck...Ckuckh...Chickis...Leanna 7, that's my last name for her because I can't spell hers. So happy birthday Leanna, you're a great friend and an amazing confidant. God has blessed you with an amazing heart and a great sense of humor. You're intelligent, inspiring, 19, beautiful, hilarious, wacky, honest, and loyal person. I trust you with all my secrets and we've had some awesome times as friend (remember you still owe me...sardines at my house ring a bell?) hehehe, but anyways, you're great and I wanted you to know that, even if you don't read this.

I would give you one piece of advice...Staying faithful to God is more than just an act...it's a lifestyle, and it's a lifestyle that has become popular within the faith, but with it becoming popular, it became tainted, so I would encourage you to test yourself (not God) but yourself, test your faith. And most of all, put your HOPE in God, because I know you could spout off all the verses that deal with God doing awesome things, but sometimes we just need to be reminded. I love you very much, and can't wait to be your friend for another year.

God Bless,

Jonathan Leroyce Bass
