June 24th

My first Little League team was Police & Fire. They had cool white uniforms with red caps. I was fortunate to learn from two wonderful coaches, outstanding role-models for a little 8-year-old. My future brother-in-law was also an assistant coach. Little did I know that I'd one day be writing about his own son turning fifty.

Yes, Jason Taub turns 50 tomorrow. God-mother Reenie was so blown away by it that she had to take some R&R with Sean at Santa Catalina to recoup.

We enlisted the help of Jase's mother Chris (amazingly not getting any older):

Wishing Jason Taub a very happy 50th birthday! He’s a great:

 

Son to John & Chris,

Husband to Dayna,

Father to Camryn, Hailey and Kyndra,

"You raised an amazing, honorable son. He is so very loved by all of us!!"

Grandfather -- Papa JT -- to Madi Rose and Jaxson (Kyndra’s children).

Please continue to pray for Kyndra, who seems to be successfully transitioning to right-handedness. What a trooper! Love and prayers to her whole family.

Blue Lives Matter too, and Jason, a lieutenant in the El Cajon police department, is one of the best. Here is a prayer I found while looking for something MurphyFamilyLYM-blog-appropriate to say:

Lord, I ask for courage,

Courage to face and conquer my own fears,

Courage to take me where others will not go.

I ask for strength,

Strength of body to protect others,

Strength of spirit to lead others.

I ask for dedication,

Dedication to my job to do it well,

Dedication to my community to keep it safe.

Give me Lord, concern,

For all those who trust me,

And compassion for those who need me.

And please, Lord, through it all,

be at my side.

Amen

Amen

Taub Christmas 2017

LYM,

Dan
