This Saturday Donna and I celebrate 28 years of marriage! We were just kids when we made our vows, but by the grace of God we have kept those vows to one another and have grown more and more in love. It's funny, way back then we used that word so flippantly: "I love you." We had no idea then what the word really means. In 28 years, we've learned the meaning. In 28 years, Donna has taught me the meaning in the way she has stood by me, supported me, encouraged me, laughed with me, cried with me, raised two children with me, answered the call of God with me, traveled with me, dreamed with me, and the list goes on and on. I can honestly say she is my very best friend and there's no one I'd rather be around. She and I are so different and I'm so thankful that we are. I believe we complement one another and bring the best out in one another. It hasn't always been that way. We had to learn to appreciate the differences in one another. But what once created sparks has ultimately forged strength. If I had it all to do over, I wouldn't hesitate to look into the beautiful brown eyes of that young seventeen year old girl again and ask her, "Will you marry me?"
You Are The Man!!!
