My 70th Birthday

Turning 70 was a very special day for me. Thank God that it fell on a Sunday.  After the Divine Liturgy we assembled in the parish hall as usually and the parish, led by our rector Fr. John, intoned "Many Years" for me.  I was presented with a wonderful birthday of framed pictures of me serving as a deacon.  The parish also gave me a monetary present.  That is always appreciated.
