For those of you who are familiar with the book of Romans in the bible this post is not about the gospel... Although let it be said I am not ashamed of the gospel, I'm just not specifically writing about it today.
What I am not ashamed of is the fact that my 30th Birthday is just around the corner (see The Big Birthday countdown on the right).
At our first Bible Study for the year on Tuesday night we introduced ourselves to each other and for some reason it was suggested we share our ages... Very few people were willing to give their true age, there were a few 30-somethings (rare for the 715 congregation) and a couple of 20-somethings...
I've been thinking about it a bit lately, why are we afraid to admit we are older than someone else? Especially when in the scheme of things 30-something is really not old at all. I've decided to embrace the fact that I am older (and hopefully wiser) than alot of people I know and most of the students I work with. I've been alive for almost 30 years and that is an awesome gift from God!
