Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day to the love of my life. I can't imagine my life without my beautiful wife, Rhonda by my side. Through all of our ups and downs, health and sickness, I can definetly say, it's been a wonderful life. Filled with joy, love, laughter, sorrow, happiness, peace and the list goes on and on. She keeps my momentum going and encourages me when I get down and out. And believe you me, here lately with college, I've definetly had some hard days; however, through it all, life is good and I wouldn't have it any other way. We went through some hardaches, with Rhonda's dad's bout with cancer and then my mother with cancer also. It seemed like life couldn't go on; nevertheless, with God all things all possible and we came out stronger than ever with hope on the horizon. The last few years have been very difficult with Rhonda's ankle problem; however, again God has been with her and she is now on the road to full recovery! Praise the Lord for miracles, His mighty deeds to perform!

Rhonda - if you by chance read this and I'm sure you will, I just want to say I love you with all my heart and soul and would like to close with the "Love" chapter found in I Corinthians 13, NIV: "If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
