To all whom read this post,

I am priveledged to call Mr. Jonathan Sharp as my friend. Many of you don't know him, but he is an incredible man of God and a true friend. I am thankful to be surrounded by such friends whether they be here in the 'boro (such as my great roomates Hodge, Adam, and Justin), Chatt-town (like my earthly father Ken Martin, Kyle, and Sharpie), or China (the likes of whose names I will not post). I truely count myself blessed by my ever-loving eternal Father.

21 years ago God's long time thought breathed his first breath in this sin-struck world. God made him just as He had planned and raised little Jeff up to proclaim the fame of His Son, by whom all things have come into existence. God gave Jeff the gift of teaching, that He might reveal to those around him what God has freely given us. For those of you that don't know this is a MAN whose first love is Jesus Christ the Savior of the world, the Creator and Sustainer of life. He is a man with a passion for God's will and stops at nothing to accomplish it. Though he may be sinful, he is among the redeemed and righteous in the sight of our Almighty God. He's a son, he's a brother, he's an uncle, he's a friend, he's a soldier, he's a warrior, he's a servant, he's a speaker, he's a martial artist, he's a guitar playing nut, he's many things but most importantly he's a man after God's own heart. Ladies and gentleman, tip your hat to Mr. Jeff Martin. Happy 21st birthday. May God continue to bless you and train you for what is to come. You are covered by the blood of His Son, and therefore with you He is well pleased. I love you and will go to war with you. It is my pleasure to call you a brother. -Sharpie
