Happy Birthday to Me!

I'm blogging on my birthday, an hour left. It would have been an incredible day except for some terrible neighbors. After church went out with some friends to celebrate and came home around 8pm to the bar across the street blasting this music:


BLASTING! Is it not? I still have adrenaline in my body from when I was planning on speaking to the owner since the police said that noise complaints start at 10pm. I am still so edgy from the adrenaline that I don't even feel like saying thank you to all my facebook friends who have been wishing me happy birthday all day. Am taking deep breaths right now.

What I also did was write a little story on facebook and tagged as many Newark city leaders as I could. An old friend from the prosecutors office replied that though noise complaints start at 10pm, there is a city ordinance for excessive noise: C.O. 20:3-7

I was kind of relieved to read that and that depending on police availability they should come out with a "noise meter" to determine the decibel level. I am sure that if I still live on planet earth, the decibel level of the above music was way beyond an acceptable level.

Other than all this, today was a great day, sharing it with all the fathers out there it being Father's Day today too.

I still have not watched it yet because of how emotional it may make me, but one of my sisters made this in tribute to our dad:


I am sure when I am ready, I'll watch it, but not yet.

What else can I say but perhaps that yesterday was a great day too giving out about 150 bags of food plus meat. We had brother Jim Miley preach too, which is always a treat, and he got me excited by saying that if I wanted he'd send me over to Uganda as a full time missionary. I am not ready yet but ideally I think I could spend about 20 years in Africa, that is of course if the Lord tarries. I thought I already blogged his message from yesterday but I guess not. His and Pastor Sam I should blog soon and so share the link here. Anyway I'll leave this post here and see what else the Lord will have me do. Blessings!
