This is my anniversary weekend. I am a blessed man, but I am only blessed because of Jesus’s example and Peter’s challenge to us. ‎1 Peter 3:7 – … husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman …, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.

Dreams of Lost Friends

Last night I dreamt (dreamed sp?)  about a person from my past. It was strange for me for many reasons. One is that this person had a large hand in shaping who I am today, as a follower of Christ. The other is that, all though I don’t know the state of her relationship with our Savior since we haven’t spoken in almost 15 years.
