My FIL's Second Birthday

I will remember the deeds of the LORD;
yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.
--Psalm 77:11

Celebrating with Halmoni and Halabaji at dinner earlier this evening

Today is a special day--it's Tanna's Dad's second birthday! Some people might read that and think that it is the anniversary of the day he accepted Christ (because some people celebrate that day). But it's not. It's the anniversary of the day he was shot.

It actually happened 31 years ago. It was 1977, and he was working at a convenience store in East Atlanta. He was closing that night, and three guys came in to rob the place. He was shot twice and left to die. But God spared his life that day, and we are grateful.

I would say that he's a lucky man--but I don't think luck had anything to do with it.

Actually, come to think of it, he is lucky, too ... because he did get a hole in one once while playing golf.
