19 years

What a week this started out to be and it's already mid-week and I find myself for the first time being able to sit in my office to reflect on the goodness of the Lord and try to get some work done in the office. I've been on the road pretty much for the last two days visiting hospitals, nursing homes, and funeral homes and I was fortunate to do some substituting at the school yesterday, so I've been pretty busy.

Speaking of yesterday. Yesterday was a very special day in my life because it marked the 19th wedding anniversary for my wife and I. We have made it 19 years and the reason that I say that is because we had some individuals tell us 19 years ago that we wouldn't last 3 years. Well, we had a rough go at the beginning but look at us now!!!! God is a God of restoring marriages and allowing people to grow up and to love eachother with the love that only God can provide. I am a firm believer that only God can provide the love in a relationship between a husband and a wife that will cause them to have the marriage that they need. First, they have to be committed to following God no matter what, individually. They have to have a relationship with the Father before they can have a "right" relationship with the spouse. It's proven in my life! Second, they have to be able to give 110% to the other person not expecting anything in return and when we do this, the other person will return the love.

Kelly has stood with me through the years during my "stupid" times and she's still standing with me as we have embarked on a new challenge doing ministry. I thank God for my companion and I wouldn't want to go this journey alone. She's my "help meet", she's "close enough to perfect for me!" I love my hot wife!!!!! She's the one below with the FAT guy!
