Narcissistic Birthday
For anyone who “claims” that one day doesn’t make a difference check out this before and after picture. I almost suffered a serious setback when I looked in the mirror this morning. So I’ve put a list together of things true for me now that I’m 35.
- Fire marshal requires a fire extinguisher accompany any birthday cake that attempts to have as many candles as I am years old.
- Still can’t believe the Saints won the Superbowl in my lifetime.
- My knees knock more than my front door.
- teeth chattering is more about preventing lock jaw than being cold.
- Candles, matches, electrical outlets, needles, pins all have the same use – to verify my hands still have the sense of touch.
- Lament that windshields can’t also act as a magnifying glass (also realize that side mirrors really need to start showing images as large as they really are).
- Need help blowing out my candles.
- Want to tell my parents they were right about something just can’t remember what it was or who they are.
- Hope my teeth make another 100,000 miles.
- Looking forward not back.
- Have more than I need.
- Grateful for a beautiful wife and lovely children.
- Get what it means when Paul says “To live is Christ and to die is gain.”
- New life verse: Proverbs 20:29 “The glory of young men is their strength, but the splendor of old men is their gray hair.”
- Long to stand in justification by faith in Christ alone for all good works created in and for me for God and his glory.
- Look forward to the fruit of the Spirit growing vibrantly in my life.
- Glad to be on this side of the cross; look forward to the other side of the grave.
- Question to Death: Where is your victory? What? Ain’t you got no sting? (okay – I’m having too much fun now).
