Brains birthday

It's my birthday tomorrow. 

I think it was good that I was born in January otherwise I could get depressed when Christmas was over. I always get better presents with birthday money because of the January sales!  A January birthday is a winner.

I'm a bit like that in general, always needing something else to focus on. I like to have a ministry trip planned for when I get back from summer holidays so I have something else to look forward to. It's not that I find life boring, I just enjoy that feeling of anticipation and excitement.

I enjoy trying new foods in restaurants because you just never know you might discover something totally tasty!

I also like trying new drinks.

Being like this doesn't always make me very patient, but it is perhaps one of the benefits of having a christian faith. I have something to look forward to as well as enjoyment to be had right here and now.

Anyway it's not a big birthday I am just going to be 38! Years ago I thought that was old, but now it isn't.

50 is the new 40.

I've left my camera in England so I can't show you how my hair growing experiment is going, it looks good but very grey. 

Grey is the new black.

Tracy is out tonight and I am thinking about watching the Bourne Ultimatum with my sons, they won't get the plot but they will love all the action. I think it will be okay for a 9 and 11 year old.

9 is the new 15.

11 is the new 18.

Do you like the prickly pair? 

I used to get loads of cards addressed to Brain, it happens a lot, but thats okay anonymous. I have a very large brain.

Large is the new small.....

Yay January! Happy Birthday. Mine was last Sunday. I think 33 is the new 25, but I didn't like being 25, so I'm just gonna go with 33 and see where that gets me. :-)

I hope you have a fun, relaxing and gift-filled birthday!

Love the pics from the new office/base of operations and prayer.

Peace,

WOOHOO!! 38. It's a good age. 40 is not bad so far, but it may be the very top of the hill. We'll see as next year rolls around and I turn 41. Oh I do want to see your "hair growing" project.

Happy birthday Brian! Aneta wants to know if you want a new, fresh stick of deoderant for your birthday? *smile*

I'm always getting letters, etmails, etc., with people spelling my name wrong. Several years back I got an email from my boss addressing me as "Brain". Okay, that happens frequently, no big deal. Then in the same letter, she mentioned something about "brian tumors". I couldn't believe it!

Hmmmm...I think I now know what it is. One of your readers described it earlier. It is when a person reads Brian Heasley's blog too much and starts going mad! *grin*

Have a great birthday!

Blessings,

Brian & Aneta Hume
