HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, OH PETER!
HAPPY BIRTHDAYYYYYYYYYYY TO YOU!!!!!!!

Okies, I'm at home now... here goes:

PETER! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
You jumped into your destiny about 23 years ago, when you thought up and founded our favorite band.
But it took a lot of hard work to get there.
While your career didn't take off until almost 16 years ago now,
We still look back on all the work you put into the newsboys,
And we also realize
You could never have gotten even that far without God's help.
You and the band have been through ups and downs.
From gold records to beloved band members' departures,
And even the death of a former band member,
It seems like the newsboys have been through it all.
And yet, by the grace of God, here you are.
Still going strong, not a hiccup in your fanbase.
And still giving the glory to He who continues to deserve that glory.
The words you wrote and co-wrote,
The music you created,
The lives that have been touched by the two blended together.
God uses even your oldest songs to touch the lives of your fans.
How do we begin to thank you? Do we even thank you? Or God?
The answer, I think, is very simple, but the fact remains: you are a fisher of men,
Just as your namesake from Jesus' time was called to be.
If it weren't for the fact that you answered God's call,
At least half of us would either not be here, or not be Christians.
And while you don't even know how many lies you touch and have touched,
Just know that God uses you in a way that has the potential to blow minds.
We salute you and your work, Peter Furler.
May you continue to work for the Almighty,
And give Him His rightful glory.

There. My little tribute.
But luckily, that ain't all. :D

My first GIMP photo. Turned out pretty good, in my opinion. :p
