I’d love to take the time to write some long, sentimental thank you and note of appreciation to all my friends, but because we’re going to do family devotions in a few minutes here, I thought I’d keep things brief. Thank you to all who not only made my birthday a great day, but also are there for me through thick and thin during the other 364 days of the year. And, in order to make sure I haven’t missed anyone … I appreciate all you who took the brief moment or two to write on my Facebook wall or send me a text message or IM wishing me a happy birthday.
