My younger brother turned sixteen years old yesterday. I can’t believe how much he’s grown over the last few years. I keep having to remind myself that he’s not a little boy anymore – he’s a godly man! He is my defender, my personal comedian, my fellow music critic, my challenger and one of my best friends. So, in honor of Chase…..

Sixteen things I love about my brother:

1. He is committed to becoming a godly man and strives to put God first in all things
2. He is hilariously ridiculous
3. He is an awesome guitar player and every now and then is willing to give me a lesson
4. He is a hard worker
5. He is a walking encyclopedia – He’s the first person I go to for information on pretty much any subject
6. He is very protective of me and our younger sisters and quite often tells us which boys he simply will not accept as brother-in-laws
7. He is a gentleman
8. He is great with little kids
9. He proofreads my books and papers and gives an honest opinion about anything I write
10. He is humble
11. He corrects me when I’m wrong
12. He listens to wise counsel
13. He loves good books and will stay up late into the night discussing them with me
14. He is a fantastic preacher
15. He is a great cook
16. He loves me and will do pretty much anything for me – as long as it’s his idea to do it :)

“How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to Your word.” Psalm 119:9

I’m so blessed to have a younger brother who lives his life by this verse.

So, tell me about your brothers. What makes them special to you?
