Today, Alana and I got to meet up with Rich and my fabulous former boss from the Chattanooga Youth Network, where I worked for three years (until week 37 of my pregnancy)!
Tony is great for lots of reasons. You can count on him to do several things in any given conversation:
1) He will make you laugh.
2) He will engage you in meaningful conversation, asking how things really are.
3) He will, at some point, make reference to the Myers-Briggs personality profiles.
4) He will talk about his sweet wife and incredible twin girls.
5) If you are at a restaurant, he will learn the server’s name and refer to him/her by name (as if they are a close friend), for the remainder of the meal.
6) He will drink a diet coke.
7) He will quote his favorite pastor/theologian/author, John Piper. I think my favorite quote is the one that Piper is most recognized for: “God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.”
8 He will mention the book(s) that he is currently reading (from his extensive library…he has a book addiction) and if you mention wanting to read it yourself, he will most likely give it to you. He’s super generous.
These are some of the things that make Tony who he is, and I am so thankful for him! He was the best boss I’ve ever had, and I loved working for him!
Tony, it was GREAT to do lunch with you today, Rich and I appreciate you, and are looking forward to seeing you again soon! And thank you for this fun shot of the three of us!
