Happy Birthday Natasha! What a joy Natasha has been to our family and we pray that she always lives to bring glory and honor to Jesus Christ!



BTW - On my first trip to Russia many years ago, I found out that Natasha was a Russian name and instantly "fell in love" with the name! Of course I asked my wife if we would be able to name one of our daughters Natasha and she so graciously agreed. While we lived in Russia, when I would introduce Natasha, their eyes would light up and they would usually say something like, "Ah, Natasha, a Russian name!" This would give us an opportunity to share the reason and to help bring down the walls so we may build relationships.

Just for your information, the reason why I put "fell in love" in quotes is because the saying is not true that we fall in love. Falling in love implies an accident and love is a choice, an action. May we love Jesus and each other!
