my valentine


This is the 30th time I have had the blessing of Julie being my Valentine.  In fact is was just before Valentine’s Day in 1993 that Julie said yes to being my wife.  No our marriage isn’t perfect.  Neither of us is the perfect partner, but we love each other and are so blessed by God with the gift of each other.  


She is so much more than I share, but today I want to give you just a little glimpse in to who this special lady is to our kids, to the world and to me!  My Valentine, Julie, is a gift from God!


Proverbs 31:10  NASB  

An excellent wife, who can find her? For her worth is far above jewels.


She is worth more than any Jewels.  She is worthy of more!  To me she is a precious jewel!


Song of Solomon 6:9  NASB  

But my dove, my perfect one, is unique…


My valentine is unique.  There are no others to me as special and made fore me as my Jesus.  She literally is unique!


Ephesians 5:33  NLT   

So again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.


Since not long after we met and began dating I have realized that I love Julie like I have never loved anyone else.  She is loving and loved!


Ephesians 1:19  NLT  

I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power


So many times in these 30 years Julie has helped me see and realize how incredible God is.  Not only is my Julie incredible, but she opens my life to the incredible things of God!


Again, the first verse I shared…


Proverbs 31:10  NASB  

An excellent wife, who can find her? For her worth is far above jewels.


Julie is excellent.  An excellent gift from God.  An excellent part of my life and just plain out excellent!


Did you see what I did there?  My valentine!  She is JULIE.  My Jewel.  My unique one.  My love.  My incredible wife.  And my excellent gift from God.


Happy Valentine’s Day, Julie!

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
