Happy Half-Birthday!

Every kid would like to have more than one birthday a year. Make that wish come true by remembering their half-birthday, which is six months after their real one. For instance, if their birthday is April 18, celebrate their half-birthday on October 18.

How? Get creative! Even though our daughter is now thirty, her mother and I still call her on her half-birthday and sing, “Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to y.” We abruptly stop halfway through, which will make kids of all ages smile. I’ve cut a birthday card (and envelope) in half for my daughter on previous half-birthdays and her mom has ingeniously cut a present or two in half.

Half-birthdays are a fun way to celebrate all the special people in your life. Who wouldn’t like to be remembered and singled out as something special twice as often as usual?

So mark those half-birthdays on your calendar and keep the scissors handy!

Phil’s eBook, The Logic of Living a Spiritual Life: Supporting a Life of Faith Through Logic and Reason, is now available for 99 cents.

Order it at GodIsLogical.com.

In this eBook, you’ll find answers to questions like:
• What is the cornerstone of a spiritual life, and why?
• What is the secret to liberating yourself from other people’s judgments and expectations?
• How do you reconcile the “free will vs. Divine Will” conundrum?
• Why is there an exception to “Everything happens for a reason”?


Those who worship logic instead of God are only half right. Not only is it logical to believe in God and to live a faith-based life, the existence of a loving, benevolent God that governs all creation is perhaps the only systematic worldview that explains every aspect of life.

Phil is also the author of Sixty Seconds: One Moment Changes Everything, a collection of 45 inspiring, life-changing stories from prominent authors and thought leaders he interviewed. The roster of storytellers includes Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, Neale Donald Walsch, Caroline Myss, Larry Dossey, Rachel Naomi Remen, Bernie Siegel, Dean Ornish, and Christiane Northrup. Sixty Seconds has been translated into four languages: Italian, German, Spanish, and Portuguese. Reading this book is like spending a few minutes face to face with each of the contributors and listening to their personal stories.
