Why He's Booterboy.

He was two or three and the cutest thing you have ever laid your eyes on.  His gorgeous blond hair and great big dimples didn't help matters in making sure that he would always be my favorite little brother.  (Well, only little brother, but he likes to hear from time to time that he is the favorite.)

And then came the Superman Pajamas.  They marked him in a way that became irreversible.  Imagine a little fella with a great big red cape on.  The next thing you know, he is tearing through the house as fast as possible (so that his cape can get maximum air) and yelling "Booo-ter-boy...here to save the day!"

Obviously, boo-terboy was his was of saying superboy (he was too smart to think he was a man at that age I suppose.)  And, as chance would have it, he would soon be stuck with that nickname.  For life.

So as you are praying for Kirby, you can also interchange the name Booterboy. 

I am sure he won't mind a bit.

{snicker.}

I guess Kirby has always had a heart for saving the day.  But along the way, he has become convinced that only Jesus can truly save.  He has taken on a role similar to John the Baptist...preparing the way in youth's lives so that they might know God.  He helps get their feet on the path so that they might meet and truly know the real superhero.

I'll post more specifics later tonight.  Your prayers are being felt and answered!  We can't thank you enough.
