Nathan and Stacey’s 24th Anniversary

On June 14th,  2010, Stacey and I went out to eat.  We talked about old times and how fast life goes.  Our sons, Nathan II 21 years old, Anthony 15 years old, and Christopher 6 years old are our pride and joy.  We treasure the life they are living and the fact that they are living for God.  They are doing so well in school and have such a great future. 

 Sometimes when we look at the people we have lost and the things we could have done or could have been we could get down.  God told us,

Philippians 4:8 (King James Version)
“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”

If we keep this in mind when we look at our lives then we can continue even in the worst of times.  We should not complain about the life we are in as God knew we would have to go through the trials we go through.  God loves us and as long as we keep him first in our lives things will turn out all right.  It rains on the Just and the Unjust.  We are a testamony to the lost that we have problems and can still live for God in spite of our problems.

Happy Anniversary Babe,

Time is Relative
A Second touching a hot stove feels like forever,
An hour seems like a second holding your hand,

A Minute at the dentist is like torture,
Yet a Minute without you I can not stand,

An Hour waiting in a line is so boring,
With you by my side it seems so tame,

A Day out in the cold is so severe,
Snuggled up to you does not seem the same,

A Week without you near me,
Each day counted until your return,

A Month of marriage with you,
Fills my heart with gladness and a glow that does burn,

A Year of looking back at our life,
Makes me happy we are together,

A Lifetime of love and friendship between us,
We can survive any weather.

(This poem is to my wife)

When I first saw you, you took my breath away.
When you first talked to me, I couldn’t think.
When you asked me out, I couldn’t respond.
When you touched me, I got shivers all through my body.
And when we first kissed, I floated away in my dreams
