My birthday was yesterday. 26 years. Wehew! It was actually a birthday that I won't soon forget. Not the best but definitely the worst. It's hard to say that as I would have loved it to be the best, but alas, I'll have quite a few more:)
Both Charissa and I had, let's just say, not the best day ever. Living here at the church and working here makes for an interesting combination. We aren't here for fun (although it is) and we aren't here because it is a nice place to be (even though it is). We are here to grow. Ever heard of "growing pains?"
I'm happy to have input into our lives. In fact, I deeply desire it. I want to seek wisdom and find knowledge every minute that I'm here. Even when it comes on my birthday without any warning. When someone that I trust wants to point something out about what I may be doing or not doing. It may be a hard pill to swallow but I want to digest it...to pray about it and to seek the Lord in those areas of my life.
I want to grow. Chairssa wants to grow. It hurts. It's worth it.
Who is me

One amazing wife, an incredible daughter and one on the way. Life for us is much different then most people. We both work for our church as well as live there too. We have lived here since January and we have completely enjoyed it. We have our own apartment but there are about 30 other people who live on campus as well. Full of life and full of fun.

I totally know what you mean. And we thought the spanks would stop when we were 12! Although painful, we always end up learning and growing from it. I do have to say I'd rather have one that I knew was coming and not on my birthday though :D
Buddy, I'm not going to lie, but I don't remember anyone's b-day anymore. I'm sorry I missed it. I love you man! You know that. Happy birthday buddy.
