Today I celebrate Joe Bistayi.

He HATES it when people write stuff about others making them sound better than they are so I am not going to make Joe sound better than he is.

He is known for his amazing ability to fall asleep anywhere anytime.  


                                                                  He snores.

 He has NEVER used the GPS without arguing with it.  He's had high blood pressure and a heart stint and prostate cancer and gall stones and kidney stones and gout and malaria. He is losing his hair and his hearing.   He is a harumpher.

He also makes our morning coffee and vacuums and grandparents and sings and gives and listens and cries and laughs and prays and compromises and stands firm and continues to grow and....

...most significantly, is the same man at home that he is in the pulpit.

Joe Bistayi is the REAL DEAL.

And THAT is something to celebrate!


Happy Birthday, Joey.  I sure do love you!

I don’t know. Lot of good points there but I reallly think the snoring would be a deal breaker for me.

Happy belated birthday to Joe. Remembering you both fondly from our time at Chapel Hill.
