a good day

Today I turned 37 years old... here were some highlights

a happy birthday greeting from my wife, son, and daughter first thing this morning

walking to church with my daughter (my wife and son stayed home sick)
racing home with her after church

going to church with an unshaven face (10 days old)
- the fun jokes and comments that went along with my scruff

getting serenaded happy b-day from my church before I started speaking

Rosie's 2011 goal: qualifying for the Olympics (seriously, who else can say that)
Rob's response: you stole my answer

the joy of feeling so at home with my church this morning

watching my son show up to church late even though he was going to stay home sick

new year's "left overs" lunch with family and some friends in my dinning room followed by a good espresso and conversation

family board game, my wife won, my kids whined

that's it: I'm happy to be alive, enjoying a growing relationship with God and the people in my life, looking forward to another year, praying for courage to face whatever challenges and opportunities God brings before me
