I recently turned 33. I joke that I want a big party in a couple of months when I can celebrate that I’m a third of a century old. A friend of mine teased me by asking, “Jesus saved the world when he was 33. What have you done?” Ouch.
Yesterday I also celebrated my ninth “spiritual birthday,” the anniversary of my rebirth in baptism. In the same way, Jesus saved the world in his third year of ministry.
Looks like I have my work cut out for me.
congrats dude. I’m down for the party, call Ro up and he’ll throwdown for you.
happy “spirthday” dude!!!!
“spirthdays” are more special to me than my real birthday. on my birthdays I usually tend to feel sad to see another year slip by. But on my spiritual birthday, I am in a totally different mood which is very positve and grateful.

Interesting thought. Our physical birthdays mark the passing of another year while our spiritual birthdays bring us one year closer to heaven.
