thank you to all who participated in making yesterday extra special. you always seem to pull through. heh.
highlights:
megans sends me my first bday message (of course)
kim calls from Germany
justin sends a letter from boot camp
steve calls and sings entire bday song
sarah and i head out for some latenight b&n
i find out that tiger woods is a really nice man
and so we embark on another year, that is me, myself and i. and its looking pretty exciting. maybe a little rocky? who knows. but 2-0 here i come.

i am debating whether or not i drive out with the youth to St. Pete today. not for the entire weekend trip, just for today. i really did want to go, but i am also excited about the extra time i will have for myself this weekend. i think im going to take an entire day to myself. maybe monday or something. i dont know.

sorry. but i love this.
OZ says: We take a rational view of life and say that a man by controlling his instincts, and by educating himself, can produce a life which will slowly evolve into the life of God. But as we go on, we find the presence of something that we have not taken into consideration... sin, and it upsets all our calculations. Sin has made the basis of things wild and not rational. We have to recognize that sin is a fact, not a defect; sin is red-banded mutiny against God. Either God or sin must die in my life. The New Testament brings us right down to this one issue. If sin rules in me, God's life in me will be killed; if God rules in me, sin in me will be killed. There is no possible ultimate but that.
Thank God for the choice.
