Whatever's in front of me, help me to sing hallelujah.". Wednesday, March 18, 2009. What I Deserve On My Birthday. I'm another year older today, but I don't know that I feel another year wiser. In preparation for my birthday, I went back and read last year's blog posts about birthday expectations. And learning important lessons. But there remains in my heart a foolish belief that I deserve all kinds of things today, just by virtue of being born. Sounds ridiculous as I type it out, doesn't it? So as my bi...
