Tomorrow marks my 36th birthday, but yesterday was my oldest nephew's 2nd birthday. The 10th of the month is the birthday of one of my cousins. So we have 3 big reasons to celebrate in January. It amazes us how time flies, doesn't it? I pray that 2026 is a kinder year to all of us than 2025 was, but also, I pray for peace, calm, understanding, and ultimately, the world's salvation, giving their lives to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Among the famous names I share my birthday with are the king of rock and roll, Elvis Presley, and game show host Bob Eubanks, so to celebrate, let's feature them in this journal as well:
