Laurie Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Happy Birthday Dave!!! May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back, The sun shine warm upon your face, The rain soft upon your fields, And day by day throughout the year May God hold you in the palm of His hand. Warmest regards for a wonderful day, Laurie (disclaimer: I edited a line--I know we have critics on board ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsteele Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Wow! A surprise party!?!?! For me?!?!?! Happy birthday to Mike F, too! Thanks for this thread guys and gals. It really did surprise me and it brought a smile and a much-needed warm feeling to me. I talked to the Regional Human Resources Director today and he laughed (in a warm and not malicious way) when he found out that today is my birthday -- when hard news is just hitting the hardest. Actually, he laughed sympathetically and in such a way that I had to laugh with him. Hey, Overtrained -- Guess where Mrs. DS and I are going for dinner tonight. I'll use the membership yet! We have to celebrate the birthday. A Scout is cheerful! Thanks again, it means a lot. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManyIrons Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 Dang it, I'm late to the party! Well Happy Birthday anyway and remember -- you're not a year older, you're just another year closer to owning that quilt shop. BTW, yes I saw the bad news in the other thread and sent a private message. I hope you enjoyed your birthday so much that you don't see either of these until Monday!

dancinfox Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 Dave, Happy Birthday. I hope you and Mrs. Steele had a great dinner. A thought for the day. Sometimes, when things look their worse, the Lord always seems to be there at the right time. He's always been there for me and I know he will be there for you.

dsteele Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 We had a wonderful dinner. Thanks, in no small part, to the friendship displayed here. In response to Dancin's post -- I know the Lord will make sure things turn out okay . . . I may not know how He will do it, or whether it will be what I think I want today, but I know He's there. I had an image in my head when I first got the news of a small (I'm already small, so imagine me imagining I'm even smaller,) but defiant Dave Steele shaking his hand at the winds (it does that all by itself, but that's beside the point) while a sea storm raged at his back. Alone, scared, in the dark and helpless against the storm, but all the while saying, "I will remain." I'm not alone. The Lord is there protecting my back. As his allies in full force, He has my wife, my family, my Scout Executive, the Regional Human Resources staff, several Scout Executives I count among my friends and, not least of all, my drive (which He has given to me.) I'm now much more confident that I will remain with the BSA. I'm a little worried about where and what position, but now is the time to trust . . . and update my resume. Coming soon, maybe to a council you're in . . . me. In the interim . . . thanks for making the best of my birthday. In fact, you've all made my Christmas and brought joy to my heart.

Fuzzy Bear Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 I only know you through your messages. I wish you happiness on your birth and life and it sounds like your retirement into something else. Fuzzy Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
