Happy Birthday...Allen?

I'm sure you were all expecting to open your web-browser this afternoon, getting your daily fix of the Monroe Doctrine, to see one of our world famous birthday posts, but you probably weren't expecting Allen Dixon.

Well Allen has the distinct privilege of sharing his birthday with another special someone, but we'll get to all that later!

Allen is our great friend from Suwanee and he is turning the big 26 today!

What can you say about Allen. He is distinctly Allen, which is refreshing. If there has ever been someone who was uniquely gifted to do something, it's Allen and Young Life. He has a huge heart for students and makes everyone around him better at ministry.

Allen is also one of the truly special friendships in this world because he is a person that you can sit and play video games for hours on end with (trust me... I've seen Baylor and Georgetown teams you wouldn't even believe) and a person that you can have a real, genuine conversation with about life. He is a perfect balance of serious and fun and is one of my greatest friends.

So all you young-lifers out there in Gwinnett, here's your chance to comment and let Allen Dixon know what you really think of him!

Happy Birthday buddy. You're my second favorite person having a birthday today and that says a lot!
