28 Candles

Altho I will probably not have a cake this year I continually ponder the significance of the sheer volume of candles that would be on said cake. It's hard for me to think of myself as almost 30, but the reality is just that.

As I stop to look around and see what my 28 years here on earth have accomplished, I can see many good things...

a beautiful wife of five plus years
a wonderful daughter of eight plus months
commissioned on the elder track in the North Texas Conference
a master's degree from Perkins
a bachelor's degree from A&M
part of the staff of a vibrant, growing church
pastoral experience in two other great churches

I am excited about year 29 here on planet Earth...if nothing else, it should at least be fun!

Grace&Peace
