Our lives together

(Written to my wife on our anniversary in 2011) Standing on that fire hydrant, as nervous as I was; I saw you for the first time and my heart has never stopped longing for you. Tatana on that very first day I met you, my life truly began. I saw purpose and motivation. I continue […]

Forgiveness – the first step

(This is what I wrote up on the way to preach a message since God had re-written in my head what I was going to talk about that night.  So this is what I wrote out.  What I preached/taught was not this verbatim, but I used this as a guide on what I felt God […]
