About Me

I have been married to my wife and hero (Stage 4 Breast Cancer Survivor) Stacy for 23 years. We have raised three awesome son's. Together Stacy and I have learned that true love can ONLY be tested through time. True Love is tested through hardships, boredom, and pain. True love has to whether through life's busyness, while withstanding the pressures of Job, family, and home, middle and old age. You determine whether the LOVE you have is true over time. Respect each other,encourage each other, and serve each other minute by minute, hour by hour...As time alone will tell!

GIVE EACH OTHER PLENTY OF SPACE TO GROW!

God, who began a good work within you, will continue His work until it is finally finished on that day when Christ Jesus comes back again. Philippians 1:6.... To truly love your spouse, you want to see them realize their full potential- physically, intellectually, emotionally, and most importantly, spiritually. We are called to “grow in the special favor and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18). God wants us to become mature, especially in our ability to trust Him and follow His instructions. Therefore you must give each other room to grow. This may mean encouraging your spouse, self-sacrificing for your spouse, and sometimes it also means giving your spouse room to suffer. James 1:3-4 says, “For when you faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be strong in character and ready for anything.” What will you do today to encourage your spouse’s growth?
