birthdays

The 22nd of each month holds a bit of a specialness to me, because that means I can count to the month how long until my birthday. So, today, it's 3 months until my birthday! Yay!

Well all this week I was seeing the 22nd approach and I thought to myself, "Now, who's birthday is on the 22nd of September. I KNOW I know someone who's birthday is 22 September..." and the thought plauged my mind, for I could not for the life of me remember who.

Interestingly enough, my lovely roommate (whose birthday is in one month) reminded me of actually TWO birthdays today...and it made me laugh heartily (will make you laugh as well, Tollers!)...

Frodo
and
Bilbo!!!!

Some of you perhaps may say "Who the heck?"

four words: Lord of the Rings.

Good laugh.

Well, Happy Birthday Frodo and Bilbo - may you live long and prosper! :-)

(I think it's time for another LOTR viewing, what say you, friends?)

Oh well.

I'm all about having a LOTR viewing. A great way to inaugurate our retro couch and downstairs "family" room. Just name the time and I'm there. :-)

I told her she should come over and we would watch the movies together (or some of them)--but she has birthday dinner plans at a steakhouse. Go figure.
"Today is my one hundred and eleventhieth birthday!"
"Happy birthday!"

I don't claim to be great, but my desire is to live well right where God has me today. It's been easy to deceive myself into thinking greatness is something "out there" that I define and pursue, when in reality greatness happens right here through living and loving well and looking back to see how great God has been to work through me in spite of myself.

Traveling, culture, change, communicating, being out-of-the-box - these things, though I'm passionate for them, pale in comparison to the ONE THING I desire to be about.

"Love is doing what will enthrall the beloved with the greatest and longest joy. What will enthrall the beloved this way is the glory of God. Love means doing all we can, at whatever cost to ourselves, to help people be enthralled with the glory of God. When they are, they are satisfied and God is glorified. Therefore loving people and glorifying God are one." ~ John Piper

"Faith has joy at its heart: it is being satisfied with all that God is for us in Jesus. Therefore, the 'good fight of faith' is a fight for joy." ~ John Piper (full seminar text)
