Ahh yes, the big 4-0!! Sigh..

Well, at the risk of sounding greedy and presumptuous, i DO have a birthday gift wish this particular year.  Looking back at my life, i can honestly say i am one of the most blessed people in the world!

• I have an amazing wife, 3 wonderful girls, a great family and great friends…
• i am part of a wonderful ministry and live in a nice cozy townhouse (our first home).
• I took a long hot shower today (feeling a bit sick)
• and can generally eat when and what I want (generally).
• Our children have clothes appropriate for the weather (getting cold in Houston)
• and they are spoiled by relatives and church folks alike.
• we have 2 cars.
• i can get medicine if i need it
• I can drink a glass of clean water when i want to
• i don’t worry about my kids getting sick from malaria or dysentery etc.
• i can wash my dishes and hands in clean water by simply turning a faucet.. not walking miles with a jar to a dirty pool of water
• the list my friends goes on and on.

and so this year, being the big 40 (some say mid life, but the way i’ve been treating my body…) i want to get something that is needed… and frankly.. for my personal life, i have more than i could have ever dreamed (see list above)!  But there is something i do WANT..

Again, not to be presumptuous, or self righteous or “high and mighty”,

NO to parties, gifts, gift cards, presents, rolls of cash, gold bars etc. (though shoulder massages are fine)

YES to hugs, high fives, slaps on the backs, sympathy sighs, empathy sighs, singing me 80′s tunes

and IF you considered wishing me a happy Birthday, or even getting me a gift..  would you kindly think of diverting that support to …..

“This tricked out honda odyssey!!!” (just kidding)

But if you can’t get me one of those… PLEASE support and donate to:

or

it is truly the most wonderful and thoughtful gifts one can give…
