My Best Friend Turns the BIG 4-0 TODAY!

For the last year, I've been winking at her and saying stuff like, "You're gonna be the BIG 4-0 this year. You're getting old woman." And how does she respond? She smiles back at me in appreciation. No joke. She actually wants to look older. (One would think that her marriage to me and our six kids ages 8-18 would be enough stress to create gray hair and wrinkles... but to no avail... so far. Maybe when she gets to be 41?)

If you'd like to wish Stacy a happy 40th birthday and make her day by telling her how old she is looking, then all you have to do is GO HERE.

I invite you to join Sir Paul McCartney (who is old enough to be Stacy's dad) in the video below in celebrating the 40th birthday of the woman I love most on planet earth.

Staci,

May God bless you on this amazing achievement. Amazing because you've lived with Bill for at least half that time. God has created you into His amazing image. We are so blessed that God has allowed us to be friends. May God bless all the years that he has ordained for you.

WOW, Happy Birthday young lady, I mean older lady, no lady, no just woman of God. You don't look a day over, no let's just say you are 40 today. Now that you have reached the pentacle of your life, no let's just say a mile stone, no maybe that is to hard of a word. Let's say another level, not that you have not reached a level yet, looking so young. Ok, let me just say "Happy Birthday" and let's pretend I don't know your age because woman don't share there age.
Thanks for sharing life with us.

So many people trying to find friendship and community...

If video above doesn't appear, go here . So many people trying to find friendship and community. Here's a thought. Instead of trying to "find" community, what if instead you sought to "build" community right where you live , work , play , and church ? But how does one "build" community? As a general rule, I try to take all of my questions to Jesus and the Bible.  So, how did Jesus "build" community?   This is where I invite you to do your own study on how Jesus used meals to connect with people. At a minimum, you could quickly search " Jesus eating. " What can we say with certainty about Jesus and eating in the Bible? It seems that Jesus enjoyed eating meals with all sorts of people—and the meal wasn't about the food—it was how Jesus connected with people. Can you think of a better way to connect with people? Perhaps this is why Paul lists "hospitality" as a requirement for all leaders in the church (1 Timothy 3:
