Concerning Birthdays | FREE eBook!
I’m officially 46! (It happened on Saturday.) I’m not sad. I’m so grateful. This has been a wonderful year where I’ve been overwhelmed by the love and support of an energetically encouraging group of people. Among them, you.

If you want to do something for me on my birthday, you could leave a 5-star Amazon review for Jack Zulu! Thanks!
In keeping with a tradition of mine, here are six things I’m thankful for (because forty-six is too much for me to manage at this age):
- Allies in the fight. You know who you are. (It’s you.)
- The magical bond between fathers and daughters. I love my girls!
- Fried chicken.
- My dad, papaw, and all veterans.
- My pastor and church.
- People who unintentionally pronounce things wrong with confidence.
Speaking of traditions: in Hobbit lore, the honoree gives out gifts.
Without further ado,
here’s my gift to you:
