Endure and persist; this pain will turn to your good. - Ovid

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. - Romans 5:1-5

Happy Birthday man. If you lived closer I'd buy lunch... your loss I guess.

happy birthday! who's bringing cake for Paul to my house tomorrow??? Jon??? aren't you in charge of dessert :-)

From Paul on Thu, Jul 01, 2010 at 13:09:38 from 65.103.252.214

I'm more into meats than sweets. I'll stick with the burgers and 'dogs.

From Scott Ensign on Thu, Jul 01, 2010 at 13:45:48 from 129.123.3.31

ok. I will put some candles in your first burger of the evening. the wax will be good energy for you too.

From Paul on Thu, Jul 01, 2010 at 13:54:48 from 65.103.252.214

You could use hot dogs as candles. There should be enough grease to ignite them.

From Jon on Thu, Jul 01, 2010 at 15:44:16 from 192.107.247.6

Happy 31st birthday! Make sure Stacy spoils you today.
