Hey Loo...

 

Okay...not sure where to start...we've had the talk and so i'm following through as promised...........DRUM ROLLLLLLLLLLL.,.....................

 

I GOT MARRIED!!!!!

 

You were the first one that i told; guess i just wanted you to know cuz you spent so many hours and efforts prodding me with that electric deal of yours...I owe a huge thanks to Joel & Kathy, you, TimothyPaul, and David, and so many others.

 

The story is long and fun and funny....and a huge blessing! My wife's name is Laurie and she's a dream come true!

 

So much more to write, but i'm still at work so i'll try to write more this weekend! But before i go:

 

JOEL & KATHY DAVISSON,

 

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thanky you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

 

....for kicking my tail and not allowing me to quit the journey, and for...

....not allowing me to give up on the dream of maturity,

....not allowing me to stop in the valley of the shadow of my shame and self-pity,

....not allowing me to secumb to the wispers of failure and defeat,

...not giving up on me,

...not letting the standard down,

...not being candy-coated Christians who told me what i thought i wanted to hear,

...not allowing a self-justifying man to stop hearing the truth,

...not backing down on your mission and ministry.

 

But most of all, to you and all the other men and women who have shared their hearts, their hurts, their lives, their tears, their joys, and their love

 

Thank you...I will forever be indebted to you. You are the most shiny example of Christ i have ever had in my life. You all have set the standard of

the value of the journey; travialing for the goal, fighting for the prize, yearning for change, and fighting long and hard to finally see the rising son on the horizon. Maturity and

Christ-likeness was a distant wish when we first met. There was a dream...a desire i held secret, but knew was not true. I wanted to be a real man....a whole man; established on God's Word, grounded in His Truth, fixed with His Principles, and whole-heartedly embracing the life as a son of the Living God. Without your guidance and wisdom, the journey would have been a failure, but God has used you both...not once, not twice, not just 100 times, but tens of thousands i am sure, to gird up the men who call themselves husbands and cause them to pursue Christ-likeness.

 

You have strengthened me in my weakness,

you have guided me in my darkness,

you have led me in my blindness,

you have accepted me in my humiliation,

you have encouraged me in my exhaustion,

you have spoken to my hurts from your hurts,

you have called the sin as it was,

you have called the forgiveness as He ment it to be,

you have borne the banner of love and mercy,

you have given an immature man the tools to change,

you have opened my eyes to a wife's dreams,

you have shared the dream as a wife dreams it,

you have made the role of husband clear, and

YOU HAVE MADE A BELIEVER OF ME!

 

OHM...

 

THANK YOU!
