I celebrated my birthday on May 21st. It was a day marked with mixed emotions. You see, a famous (or is it infamous) preacher from California guaranteed that Jesus Christ was returning on May 21st. It would have been very cool if it would have happened on my birthday, but I am thankful that the Lord tarried so that this man, who has caused much confusion within the Church, would NOT be correct. But, I digress.... It was my 40th and while it is a milestone of sorts, I don't really see myself as "that" old. I have been blessed with a beautiful, godly wife who has helped me grow as a husband, father and most importantly in my walk with the Lord over these past 12 1/2 years. God has blessed us with two beautiful children and I am truly grateful and thankful for the wonderful responsibility of doing my part to point them to Christ.
I am a geek and my wife and children gave me Autobot/Decepticon cufflinks, a Darth Vader USB thumb drive and a TARDIS IPhone case.
On Sunday, our Life Group at Church threw a surprise "Over the Hill" party. We had fun with it, and I played along but I really hope that I am not "Over the Hill" yet.
A famous contemporary writer encourages his readers to have their "best life now", I truly hope that my "best life" is yet to come!
