Word on the street is that today is Phillip Arthur‘s birthday (or maybe it’s tomorrow, I forget which day exactly). Phillip is one of the coolest cats that I know and one of the most darned creative fellas I’ve ever known. So here’s wishin’ ya a Happy Birthday, Phillip 🙂...
Here’s wishing a very Happy Birthday to Deborah Wilson (this is Deborah and I together at Star Wars Celebration III two years ago in Indianapolis).
Deborah is from Texas, and she is one of the most talented people I’ve ever known. She’s a genius at creating costumes, she does amazing work with silver in making jewelry, and word on the street is that she’s a pretty good fighter in World of Warcraft. She is also a much bigger Star Wars fan than I’ll ever be (is such a thing possible?!?). But most of all, Lisa and I think of Deborah as a very wonderful sister in Christ, who has become a true friend in every sense of the word. She’s definitely challenged me a lot in seeking God that much more, for sure…
Happy Birthday Deborah 🙂...
So two days ago it was my birthday. Which in recent times that’s been a pretty rough thing for me to go through. I guess it’s because a few years ago I spent my birthday as a pallbearer for my grandmother’s funeral and the last thing approximating physical contact with her was carrying her casket to the graveside. Since then I’ve never been able to fully dis-associate birthdays from funerals, life from death. And my grandmother and I had been close, too.
There have been times that it hasn’t been so bad though. The following year after her funeral, during the first year of our relationship, Lisa went far in giving me a fun, upbeat, positive birthday. That included going to Olympic Park in Atlanta, then meeting up with my life-long best friend Chad where he worked at the CNN Building and he showed us around to a lot ...
My aunt Glendora is 80 years seasoned this weekend… but just try believing that after seeing how good she looks:
Lots of people can’t believe she’s really 80 now (“but you don’t look it!” they all say). You wouldn’t know it either if you knew how fast she gets around. Definitely an inspiration to live and let nothing stop you. This picture was from the lil’ breakfast we had in her honor at Golden Corral this morning. So here’s wishing Aunt Glendora a Happy 80th Birthday!...
This blog wishes a very Happy Birthday today to my longtime friend and collaborator “Weird” Ed Woody…
