That’s right. Today is my birthday. Please send me gifts.
No, you don’t have to send me gifts. Unless you really want to…I turned 27 years old today! Quite a feat. I’m getting old!
I must say, while I am getting older, I have never been more content, joyful, and excited in my life. May I count my blessings for you? I’ll try 27 blessings today:
- Jesus Christ has forgiven me of ALL my sins.
- I love my wife today more than I ever have. Next to Jesus, she is the best thing that has happened to me.
- I have the cutest kid in the world, and he sang to me this morning (he wasn’t even here last year – that’s awesome)!
- I got a bike for my birthday.
- I love my job.
- Our church is reaching the community.
- Our church is reaching the world.
- I’m getting to record some music right now with some pretty talented people.
- I get to work at Lander in the Fall and talk about holy writings.
- I just got a Sudoku application for my iPhone.
- I own a hammock.
- My Mac’s got a bunch of fun stuff open on it right now.
- I’ve going to eat Japanese tonight.
- Leviticus makes me cry like a baby when I think about how serious God takes sin.
- I wrote a song the other day called “All Things New” and Cory said it was his favorite I had ever written.
- My doctoral project is making me a better father.
- I’m going to watch “I Survived a Japanese Game Show” this week.
- My Facebook friends are really making me feel special with all the “Happy Birthdays.”
- I have a new blog look.
- My whiteboard is full with mission strategies galore.
- Amanda has decided to stay home with Obie.
- My CD is #129,467 on the bestseller list on Amazon (that’s moving up the charts)!
- Some Emerge peeps just sang to my “Happy Birthday.”
- I am getting closer on finishing my first book.
- I just drew up a sketch for the “Epic Shack” and I want to be an architect right now.
- I think Obadiah can say “Agnew.” Either that, or “a-goo.” Close enough.
- I asked Jesus to save 27 people today for a birthday present. At His rate, He’s already way surpassed that one. Thanks so much.
