Holy Cow - 50!??
Not only does that mean you are old - but so are Annette and I!!
Of course we were just kids when we taught you and Ruth at DC (we are now 57 and 56)!
Well... you are a Christian Education/Dayton Christian poster child!! You are doing and living out what we always hoped and thought could be true of the Christian Ed mission.
Of course you have amazing parents!! But you have allowed many to invest in you, you have been humble and teachable, and now you are leading, influencing, and raising your own remarkable family!!
I love how you have been a strong, ambitious businessman, and now putting so many resources to the work in Montana with men and families - good job!!
Happy Birthday!! And really...50 is not old! It is just getting started on your most influential and productive years!! You are living the Abundant Life - and you may need to remind yourself every so often that You are having a lot of fun!
Chris - you make us proud! Your wife is amazing! I wish I knew your kids - I am sure they are on their way to good things for Jesus!!
Say hi to your mom and dad (we have done three trips to Israel since your Dad took us!).
The Hartenstein legacy continues to unfold!
Praise the Lord!!

Mr., Coach, Dr. Bragg - no, no...
