I’m another year older today and I am extremely thankful to be here and able to enjoy all that God is doing for my family and I.
I really have no room to complain about much of anything. God has been and is good to me despite my faults, mess ups, frailties, and sins.
I have a beautiful wife, loving family, and am surrounded by some of the most fascinating people on the planet who serve God and society in extraordinary ways. On a micro-level I am a member of a truly Beloved Community and that, in part, drives me to do all I can to help facilitate the creation of a macro-level Beloved Community.
As one gets older, that “birthday feeling” changes. I’m not running around the houses looking for gifts anymore…lol…(that was fun), but I do have a deep appreciation of the gift that is my life. I try live each moment to the fullest.
What can I say – God is good and life is a gift.
Holla at ya’ll later – I’m off to enjoy my birthday!!!!

Happy Birthday Reverend,
The world, including the Baltimore-metro region, is a better place because you are in it. For all of the poor role models that our kids are exposed to each every day, clearly in you they have the opportunity to experience a possitive, erudite, caring, civic-minded, gracious and spiritual leader – that happens to be a black man.
Your family is also blessed to have you, so be blessed on this special day!
Peace & grace
