a collection of words about God and life and art and baseball and football and hope and my family and my ministry and music and the immense joy in each moment of all of it. it's a record of being human. welcome.

We couldn't forget your anniversary...not as we sit here at Creation and remember how we heard the "Shannon" song for the very first time. We new exactly that it was nine years ago...our first trip to Creation. Let me tell you...nine years is a really long time (that is was my body is screaming to me... YOU ARE NOT AS YOUNG AS YOU ONCE WERE OR THESE MOUNTAINS ARE MUCH MORE STEEP). We remember the wedding and how beautiful it was and how hot and great were the showers too!!! Anyway, you are both in our memories of the happpiness shared nine years ago, and celebrated today. God Bless you both!! Paula, Randy, & Jesalyn too
Hope you and your lovely wife had a wonderful anniversary.
