RollerCoastering
This past weekend was very eventful and lest I forget too much, herein lies a record. Though only an abbreviated record because I'm far to private to reveal all.
My mom has a very dear friend. So dear, that growing up I and my siblings called her Aunt, though she was no blood relation. A sort of Godmother I guess you could say. She had a testimony once, after going through some hard times about some of her closest friends. Deep water friends she called them. Based on Psalm 69:15 I believe. Even though I'm young and haven't gone through much of life yet, last weekend I had the pleasure of seeing that I have many deep water friends that I can count on in both the present and the future. Whether relational deep waters, or spiritual, or simply natural things that come along, I know that I am blessed in the friends that I have.
I know that I have said similar things to this before, but through different meetings, get togethers, and one on one talks with friends I have been reminded of what I have, that so many of my peers don't; or at least have in a different way.
I'de like to go on and write more but there just isn't enough that I could say to write about in this setting. Times like this I almost wish that I kept a journal, but considering how well I do at updating here, I only laugh at the idea.

Arggh! I hate being two days early. :) Happy Birthday, man! May the waters ahead be clear, warm, and easily navigable.
Happy Birthday, Wes!! Uncle Phil and I love you and enjoy every moment (too few!) that we overlap.
Whoops, I forgot to sign "Aunt Bev" but who else is married to Uncle Phil??
Amen to the "deep water" friends bit. Can you imagine life without them?
Happy birthday, Wesley, with many joyful returns. :)
Your birthday is a day to remember

Happy Birthday, Wes! Thanks for being one of those deep water, happy few friends. I trust this next year will hold all kinds of deeply rich and soul-satsifying things as you march on with Him. Hope you had a super day!!!

Happy Birthday! You should go treat yourself at that salon or something. This time ask for "lowlights" then you can explain to Derrick what they are.
ouch...
Happy birthday, and a very merry new year to you! :O)
Umm, yeah, this is really sad on my part, but happy birthday a little late! :-)
