24 years

24 years ago, I was born on an Easter morning, with a thought in my mothers head, "how tiny you are!" It may have been one of the most joyous times in my parents lives. I hadn't done anything but I was still such a blessing.

I'm not a tiny baby anymore and life sure does go by fast. Maybe i'm still a little baby boy in my parents eyes, only when I'm a parent will I know that feeling.

I've received some amazing gifts, haha two of the same. I waited and waited, and voila, there are two Gopro cameras with my name on it haha. (my roommates got me one, also my dad got me one) Pretty sweet but I'll have to return one. Theres another box with the words Elixer on it, and I'm hoping it is my climbing harness. I've got some pretty incredible people around me.

But more than gifts and the like, more than anything, I want to be filled with an appreciation for life again. I know the emotional depth and evaluation of life's sincerity is particularly special on ones birthday, but I'd like to start developing a sense of my life's philosophy.

Be blessed to be a blessing. Righteousness is not for the sake of being holy and better off than others, its to be a whole person, walking in freedom and love, to help others who aren't all quite there yet.
