Today I am older
Today is my birthday.
I'm 36.
the family gave me Guitar Hero 3 for the Wii a day early and we've been playing it quite a bit.
Our family knows how to rock!
36 doesn't feel all that old.
There is a weird thought that keeps coming into my head recently. I remember being 20 and working in youth ministry. I remember the "old men and women" who I'd get advice from who were so great for me. And did I mention they seemed way older. I was thinking that they were probably my age right now. In the neighborhood of 36. weird.
I've lived an amazing life so far. I have an amazing wife who is patient and an encourager to me and an amazingly intuitive mother who always seems to know what the kids need when before they need it. My kids are a gift. All three unique and gifted kids who love great stories, and new experiences all the time. and they have the undeniable talent of knowing what toys are being given away in Happy Meals at any fast food establishment. I have truly great friends who God uses to change me in good ways. Thanks!
I share a birthday with some great people.
My friend Mark McAdow the pastor at FUMC OKC is older than me.
My friend Tim Keel the pastor of Jacob's Well in KC is older than me, but not by much.
Billy Graham is way older than me.
Happy Birthday Billy, Tim and Mark M!
I'm praying for you guys today!

Happy Birthday!!
I am sorry I missed getting some time with you in St.L. I got sick on Sunday (sore throat and chills) and missed out on some connections.
You, my friend are exactly 4 days older than me... I was born 11/11/71. Enjoy your day... and keep rockin'
