A Birthday (And Christmas) Wish

[Hawgphat]

As of tomorrow. Dec.19th,, I shall have graced (?) God's green earth for 72 years consecutively.  I have experienced much, loved unreservedly and expansively, and have knowingly left no enemies in my rear-view mirror along this meandering Highway Of Life.  I am truly blessed, consummately fulfilled and reasonably content (for the most part).

One of my foremost birthday wish front-runners is for the Arkansas Razorbacks Football Program to return not only to respectability, but to an upper echelon SEC and National Top Twenty Five competitive level.

My Lord And Savior has been wonderful to me.  My loving family and my wide circle of close friends have also been wonderful to me.

I am thankful for the opportunity to participate in the ongoing interchange of thoughts and information here on Hogville; it is a privilege that I do not take lightly or cavalierly.

I am neither "tiny" nor named "Tim", and I have no "Christmas Carol" to relate here (in deference to Charles Dickens); but I will nevertheless offer this sincere prayer - in light of this Yuletide season; - - - God bless us one and all.

As opposed to 72 sporadic years?

There have been some very wonderful years, sporadically interconnected to some not-so-wonderful years.  Overall, however, I've had little cause for complaint - - and I have evinced no pronounced predilection for expressing undue complaints.

Having no intention of bidding to experience cryogenic suspended animation, I fully expect my remaining time above ground to be lived in consecutive increments.

Same back at ya, Hawgphat. Sporadic or consecutive years.....in the end it matters not when you reach the big "72". Then again, I thing most of us would most certainly prefer the latter. And while this time of the year has always been special, in a real sense every day is both Christmas and Thanksgiving all rolled into one. The gift of Christ and the blessings we receive from our Father are with us every moment of the year.

BTW to have known and experienced love in so many ways makes you a very rich man indeed. There are many who have much money but have never known such devotion. I wonder if they won't give just a little of all that wealth to have experienced what you have. Oh yeah, one more thing: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Happy Birthday.
