My 30th Birthday & A Short Break
Well, it is upon me. Strangely, it feels no different, as I am told and teased it must. This coming Sunday, on February 18th, 2007, I turn 30. As I say, it does not feel any different. I don’t dread the turning of a new decade in my life with any chagrin. At best, it is a milestone at which I consider the future, something that has preoccupied me a great deal of late.
At any rate, with the busyness this weekend surrounding my birthday and my teaching in the DTS the following week, I am not sure I will be able to keep my regular blogging rate. I’ll do my best. Have a great weekend!

Blessings Jamie, may you be surrounded with the fellowship of good friends. Peace…Ron+
May God richly bless you in this coming year. Happy Birthday Jamie
So, when was the second picture taken? How old?
Happy Birthday. 30 was a crossroads for me; unfortunately, i didn’t take the right path until five years later!
Happy Birthday Jamie! You are 11 years and 355 days younger than i am.
oops- make that 364 days. let’s just say i’m still sleepy.
Ron & John,
Thanks for the blessings!
Peace,
Jamie
Bryan,
I must be about 14 or 15 in that picture. How skinny, eh? Sigh… Thanks for the birthday greeting!
Peace,
Jamie
Cindy,
Really? Happy Birthday! My wife reminded me that, in Australia, it is already my birthday, but I suppose that means yours was yesterday. (wink). Thanks!
Peace,
Jamie
happy birthday, consistently good-looking!
np,
Aw, shucks! Thanks!
Peace,
Jamie
Congrats. Have a great birthday!
Welcome to the big 3-0… it was an exciting decade for me, but unfortunately I leave that decade behind in a few short weeks. It is amazing to think about what God has done in my life in the last ten prays. I pray he does even more in yours.

oops… My mind was running faster than my fingers. That should have read: “It is amazing to think about what God has done in my life in the last ten years.” Apparenly typing does not improve when you turn 40.

Antony,
Thank you so much!
Peace,
Jamie
Alan,

Peace,

Happy birthday brother! May God overwhelm you today.

Many, many happy returns of the day, dear Jamie!

Hey Marc,
Very cool. How old?

Happy Birthday Jamie! My prayer is that the next 30 years of your adventure will be full of the joy of God’s leading. Bless you bro!
Thanks so much, Frank!

Happy Birthday, you young rapscallion, whipper-snapper, and general wet-behind-the-ears pup!
From an old fart on the dark side of the big four-oh.
LOL! Thanks Rob.
Peace,
Jamie
Hah! Way older than you, I just turned 46.
Marc,
It’s moderately relative, so I’d say not that much older. I mean, my great grandmother would have things to say about it. (wink). Thanks!
Peace,
Jamie
Ah to be 30 again. Except it is a long standing rule in my neck of the woods that once you hit 30 your back goes out on you (happened to my hubby, me, my father-in-law, my brother-in-law, hubby’s friends at work) so beware! LOL
Hope you had a great birthday and have many more!
DAWN
Dawn,
My back has never been great, but I am losing weight, so it is actually improving. Thanks!
Peace,
Jamie
Hey Jamie – hope you had a great day Sunday. I appreciate your time, the words of wisdom and just generally a set of ears and an open heart to hear my voice recently. May God continue to bless you in your service to Him.
In His grip,
Steve
Steve,
Thanks so much.
Peace,
Jamie
happy birthday late, Jamie! Still a youngster. (: Those pictures bring back memories, don’t they?!
Hey Ted,
Happy memories indeed! Thanks for the birthday greeting.
Peace,
Jamie
hey – didn’t know we almost shared a bday… mine’s the 17th….
Happy Birthday to you!
Hey Chris,
Happy Birthday!
Peace,
Jamie
Jamie, am way behind on reading my posts so just getting to about 15 of your posts! Just came to this one and was surprised you were “only” 30 (speaks the old man of 32) – you read like you were much older as you’re clearly pretty wise. Anyway, hope you had a good one. Duncan
Hey Duncan,
Thanks! As long as I don’t look as old as I sound (wink).
Peace,
Jamie
