A Very Sweet Birthday

As I look upon my children, who have made me this happy birthday banner, it occurs to me that today is extra sweet. I thank my Lord for saving me from death five months ago.

I am so grateful to be re-engaged in ministry with the CCO. I’m happy to be writing and blogging again here at VanguardChurch. I am blessed to be getting ready to teach my college class at Malone again this coming semester on Worldview and Ethics.

And, most of all, I have savored every moment with my wife, my kids, my friends, and extended family. I love Linda more than words can say. I adore Kaira (pronounced KIE-ruh), Trey, and Joel.

Thanks, again, for all who have been praying for us. We are not quite out of the woods yet; a cardiac MRI is scheduled in a couple of weeks that will determine when they will need to do the next surgery (repair of the aortic root that may be weak and replacement of a defective (bicuspid) aortic valve).
