At fourteen, you are growing in leaps and bounds;
eating enough to keep a small village alive;
and burning energy at the rate of a speeding train.
While your newly attained stature
(now taller than Mama)
and new depth of voice
(headed for baritone)
are evidence of your growth,
the evidence that brings us the most joy
is the refining of your character
we see the Lord working in you day after day.

We are delighted to see you working
to become the man God has called you to be.
Remember, this work is possible by God's grace alone -
completed only through His strength and mercy.
The Lord be with you always!
