It was 38 years ago today that God gave me the precious gift of Kathy as my wife. There are countless times when I could tell anyone how God has used her to face fears, adjust my thinking, see His Light and hear His Voice in darkness. In addition to all of this, Kathy has shown me what love looks like. So much that I kept in denial from my childhood, I needed Kathy to let me know it was a risk worth taking to face the darkness of an abusive past. Throughout it all she has remained God’s gift. How I thank Him for her!

Saturday we leave for two weeks. The first week will just be the two of us–poor Kathy has to spend it with only me! The second week we will be with our kids in Oklahoma City. I’m looking forward to all of this. It will be the time for the “RE’s”. We will reflect, regroup, refocus, reenergize, and remain faithful to the One True God for whom we both love and give thanks to.
