    Happy Birthday Zane

    Posted on Wednesday 28 October 2009 by Greg @ 11:25 am
    Filed under: Rants

    The clock strikes hard and he wakes up,
    Struggling toward the first day’s cup
    Of cool guy coffee and styling gel
    So he can keep teens out of hell.

    Zane’s turning 30.

    He’s still preserved and feeling fine
    With no wrinkles or deep creased lines
    That would mar his face and call him old
    He’s still so cool. I’m feeling old.

    Zane’s turning 30.

    A rock star preacher on the rise.
    He struggles not with fatty thighs
    Or arthritis or bad knees or hearing loss or things like these.
    I’m not bitter. I am pleased…

    Zane’s turning 30.

    So happy birthday my young friend.
    You’ll rock the pulpit once again.
    And although one day you’ll be old.
    You’ll still be cool (or so I’m told)
    And I will be really old,
    Covered in a crusty mold,
    But preaching truth that is fresh and bold

    Ummm

    Who am I kidding? I’ll be dead.

    Seriously, happy birthday Zane! I count it an honor to be your friend and co-worker in mobilizing teenagers for THE Cause!

    Join me in wishing Zane Black a happy, happy birthday!

    Signed, Greg Stier

        hey i just have a prayer request for you. my friend fell off a cliff back in the beginning of september. he is almost fully recovered and plans on going to the blaze conference in Denver as well. could you just pray to God to give him the energy he had before his accident? his name is Alex. i appreciate it more than you will ever know.
