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!

KEEP YOUR LOVE, YOUR HEALTH, AND YOUR FAITH IN GOD STRONG.

Train yourself to be Godly. For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. 1 Timothy 4:7-8....It takes work to keep the flames of romance burning brightly. Kind words, helpful deeds, a listening ear, the willingness to share (remote doesn't count), time together- all are like logs to be placed on a fire, carefully, tenderly, at just the right time and in just the right way. A fire requires skillful stoking, or it will slowly die. In the same way, our bodies need attention. We must eat right, get plenty of rest, exercise regularly, etc… Taking common sense measures to stay healthy is a precious gift we give ourselves and our spouse. It’s also a way to thank God for the bodies he gave us. To remain steadfast, marriage and health demand effort- is it any different in our faith with God? The bible speaks of our need to be encouraged, built up, and strengthened in our faith. We must work out spiritually to keep our faith in shape. It’s important to exercise your body. It’s important to exercise your heart and your love. But it’s even more important to exercise your faith. How will you apply this to your life and your marriage today? Train yourself to be Godly.
