Dear Birthday Wishers

First I want to take just a moment to thank everyone who took the time to wish me a happy birthday. It was the best birthday I have had all year. Seriously though, I was really touched by how many of my neglected friends took the time to think of me and drop me a note. Sincerely, thank you.

So, I will write in the morning to tell you how wonderful my wife is and how good she got me last night. She threw me a surprise party and I was completely clueless, even after about half a minute of actually being there. I'll tell about that later though. What I really wanted to show you are the wonderful birthday wishes from churches I got today. I think it's a phenominal idea for churches to send out birthday cards, and there is something especially nice about recieving one that has been hand-written, no matter how brief of a message. I applaud Elevation and The Cove Church (both based in Charlotte, NC) for your initiative in sending someone who is not a member a card letting them know you care. It is something I plan to implement in my church some day.

While I applaud the effort, I do have one point of contention. If you can't read the person's name, especially their last name, don't write it. The postal service doesn't care and I know who Seth is... I'm the only one in my household. I can honestly say that never before in my life have I been called "Seth Mustywood." I know my handwriting is bad but I had no idea it was that illegible. Regardless, I appreciate the thought and time it took for my card, and I especially enjoyed the dueling colors. Bravo Cove Church.


I pray that everyone is well and again, thanks bunches. Happy April 2nd everyone!
