Born in 54. Finally 54…

I was a baby boy. Carlene’s baby. Johnny’s boy.

A baby boomer…or is that a boomer baby?…whatever…a mixed blessing, to a young christian couple struggling to get through one more year of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Ft Worth, TX.

It was Memorial Day (the real Memorial Day). May 30, 1954. Yep. 54 years ago today. My birthday is always a double-holiday to me. A time to celebrate the wonderful gift of life: given by God. And a time to celebrate the gift of liberty: made possible by the sacrifice of patriots who are gone, but never forgotten.

“Praise God from Whom all blessings flow!”

“God Bless America!”

Wow! Sounds like my Birthday. Amen.

Come on…come blog with me!

    ‘Bout time you showed up here Wes! Have had a good birthday…3 days worth….my wife treated me on my actual B-day…my children on the day after…and my church, choir and concert audience on Sunday.

    Had a special time with my parents on the day before (29th)….been a blessing….many cards and emails. Your greeting here is icing on the cake.

    You too, Jimmy…thanks a lot for all you do for our ministry!
