26

As I reflect on a new age and a birthday that is far closer to 30 than it is to 20, I am tickled by the beauty I have witnessed, the miracles of life and transformation I get to take part in daily, and the humbling refinement Jesus can do on a heart like mine in a year. As I draw near to the refreshment of simplicity, Jesus, to me, can be summed up with 3 words in the 25 of years past...                           he was there.
