About Me
- Lance Dustin
- 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!

IF YOU SPEAK IN HASTE, APOLOGIZE WITH HASTE, TOO!
Rash language cuts and maims; but there is healing in the words of the wise. Proverbs 12:18....
Harmful words come so quickly! Emotions rise, and before the rational mind can intercede, haste causes the tongue to lash out angrily, wounding the person most dear to you. You feel regret, but then pride prevents you from speaking words of apology, words that soothe hurt feelings and restore your relationship. You have two enemies to contend with: haste and pride. If you lose the fight with the first, you must win the battle with the second, or the war may be lost. If haste defeats you, and you find you have sinned by saying something you shouldn't have, subdue your pride and apologize. In short term, pride brings a temporary breakdown in your relationship; unchecked, it could result in the collapse of your marriage. SAVE your marriage. Dispense with pride by humbling yourself and offering a heartfelt apology. Is there an apology long overdue…owed too your spouse?
