My Valentine

February 14, 2012 — Leave a comment

Nigh a score and seven years ago thou captivated my heart

And lo, I’ve been thine e’er since

Many roads we’ve traveled- most joyous, some with tribulation:

Always hand in hand,
Sometimes thou leaning,
Sometimes me,
Sometimes both.

Though at the time, “remove the trial” I wished, I prayed
In hindsight, our love was strengthened e’en more
Our bond, made tighter
Our Reliance, e’en firmer

See, my love, many are the things I cherish about thee:

Thy smile encourages and slays me still
The sound of thy laughter tames and tickles
Thy care and concern doth comfort my soul
The genuineness of thy character doth inspire me
Thy true love and friendship – ah, priceless treasures they are!
– – –
Alas, an endless list I easily could pen…
…and a lifetime foreseen to fathom, to appreciate them all!

Nigh a score and seven years ago thou captivated my heart

And lo, I’ve been thine e’er since,
And wilt e’ermore!

Twenty-five years ago, I married my best friend…what a wonderful adventure we started and continue each blissful day!

We’re not experts, but learn something new each day of the journey – about each other, relying on God, and so much more.

Karen, I love you so much!

Man Has Gone Without a Shower for 37 Years

September 28, 2011 — Leave a comment

Via: Today I Learned Something New

A little over a week ago, I linked a story about a man who has kept his arm raised for 38 years…check this out.

How far would you be willing to go if a person you trusted or put your faith in told you to do or not do something?

I Am Blessed

June 27, 2011 — Leave a comment

A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the lord is to be praised. Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

– from Proverbs 31

I have found…and am richly blessed.

Thank You, Lord!

For my Valentine!

I just wanna hold your hand
Hang on every word you say
Let’s write a song for us
And sing until we’re old and grey!

Sometimes God Says No

February 4, 2011 — 2 Comments

I believe that God always answers prayer – and typically in one of three ways: Yes, No, or Wait.

I think in general, our desire when we pray is that God will answer as we ask, hope, and dream – which usually involves a YES answer.  If we ask for “A”, our hope and expectation is that God will answer “A”, and not “B” or “C.”  It’s what we expect from others when we ask them to do something – why should our prayers to God be any different.

The truth is, God knows what is best – we think we know, but we really only see our lives with a limited view.  God is God and knows all; in fact, the Bible teaches that He has “known” for eternity.  There is surety and comfort in that – even though a NO answer is hard, disappointing, and, in our human mind, the “wrong” answer.  I guess NO is sometimes the best and most appropriate answer – believing and resting in that is called faith and trust.

For about four years, we have prayed that Continue Reading…

160 Hours Ago

January 30, 2011 — Leave a comment

Like most, I take the standard touristy-type photos when I go somewhere.  I think it’s required somewhere – we wouldn’t be good tourists if we didn’t.  That said, I also tend to snap photos of artsy/abstract things, stuff that amuses me, or prompts me to think or appreciate.  (Well, at least I try.)

I was looking through some of the photos I snapped while we were in Monterey last weekend and noticed one from Sunday evening (taken about 9pm):

To most, this photo would seem odd, weird, or a waste of a shot.  To me, it captured a moment to which I could assign a single word to:
