Today I celebrated my 43rd birthday.
I received lots of birthday wishes from dear friends–all of which I appreciate more than you know. Some were simple tweets/texts/ Facebook messages…and some were longer wishes for a blessed, caffeinated day filled with Chuy's and shiny pants. (Long story).
After another year on the planet, I'm even more convinced that the only things that matter are those which last forever: the Word of God, His Kingdom, and relationships with other eikons created in His image. So, I owe a very heartfelt 'thank you' to you all.
To top it off, a good friend sent me this:
"Never challenge an old man.
If you lose, you lose to an old man.
And if you win..so what?"
And, no, I'm not old.
