26 years of marriage

Proverbs 18:22 NASB

He who finds a wife finds a good thing And obtains favor from the Lord.

26 years ago today we said I do. Honestly, I cried through the entire ceremony. It was moving. My tears were about blessing and being overwhelmed with joy.

I truly am blessed. Julie makes me and my life so much better than it would be without her. She strengthens our family. She puts up with a lot (and I do mean me because I am no always easy to live with).

Very simply I want to praise God for allowing me to enjoy my days and partner with this incredible lady. We have been together far longer than we were a part, and we have a long way to go still. That is even more proof of the blessing.

May God remind me and us often of His grace! 26 years with Julie is proof!

Proverbs 31:28-30 NASB

Her children rise up and bless her;Her husband also, and he praises her, saying:“Many daughters have done nobly,But you excel them all.”Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain,But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan.

The book is Forgotten God . This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into. All of it is within the Holy Spirit.

It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about. And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts. We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things. It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share. For me C.S. Lewis is one of those. He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class. It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before. He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born. It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian. He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
