Birthday Thanks

Thanks for all the birthday wishes!  I have been truly blessed!!

As I reflect on the past year I am so thankful for a good wife, wonderful kids, and a job that provides for my family and I enjoy most of the time.  For the most part my immediate family has been healthy.  I have been blessed this year with a new pastor I consider a dear friend, and found a few new friends that have greatly enriched my life.  I lost someone close, and have seen and been a part of heartache and joy.  I have been a part of a revitalized church that is learning new ways to worship and serve as commanded by Jesus.  I have lost track with some old friends, and been able to find new ways to enjoy some old trusted friends.  I had an opportunity to pray with some folks to receive salvation, and ministered to folks that I never would have dreamed of a year ago.  I have took on some new challenges and passed one on.

It has been an amazing journey this past year and I am thankful for everyone who shared time with me this past year. 

God's blessings continue to amaze me!
