B Day


Thirty years ago, an Arminian entrepeneur, Lamont Gummery, wrote me a letter and closed with, "I hope you live to be as old as your jokes." Well, today I turn sixty. SIXTY!! I HAVE NOW LIVED OVER ONE THIRD OF MY NATURAL LIFE! All I can say is to love God, love people, and keep the fun in the fundamental things. I still maintain that only a Calvinist can really enjoy life to the fullest. With Christ, life is a great adventure with a fantastic ending...or better, a fantastic never-ending! Have a blessed day my brothers and sisters! My birthday wish is for you to send up a short prayer for me to find a job here in Kuwait. I will let you know when God opens that office door. Shukran. ("Shook-run") That's "Thank you" in Arabic.

  1. Happy B-Day brother! To be honest with you brother you do not look a day over 21,915 days old. I am praying for you and your job need.

  3. Happy Birthday!!! I trust God gave you a very special day today. You do have my prayers and I trust God will give you employment ASAP, but as we are often reminded by the story of Lazrus, God can be four days late and still be on time. Love you brother!! Thanks for all your encouragement to me.

  4. Happy Birthday brother! As usual I'm a day late and a dollar short - but hey - God planned it that way! Wishing you the very best our Lord has to offer this day and every day He in His grace gives you!

    Love in the Truth.

    Oh, forget it. It's not the same if we all can't type the lyrics in unison. The internet has it's limitations.
