Bin Laden is Dead

Awaiting the President's remarks concerning Bin Laden. I pray for safety for the innocent worldwide and that any retaliation efforts are spoiled.

The Royal Wedding

I really had no intention of waking at 4 am to watch Kate & Wils wedding, even though I had watched Diana & Charles years ago. But I woke up at 4 and then again at 4:15 with a strong urge to pray for this young couple.

So, I am up watching and it is a day filled with joy and hope for not just a country but the world. It is a true fairytale story.

The Abbey is beautiful, the weather sunny and Oh the hats!

More later...

I Am A Mountain

I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sand. Henceforth will I apply ALL my efforts to become the highest mountain of all and I will strain my potential until it cries for mercy.

Keep Your Spouse's Heart Big and Open Towards You

I found this quote and it is so true that, "A woman's flattery may inflate a man's head a little; but her criticism goes straight to his heart, and contracts it so that it can never again hold quite as much love for her."

Make sure you are the flattering and complimenting kind, because you would never want to cause your man to be able to love you less. This also means no gossiping and complaining to others about him either. Those words are still out there in the atmosphere and some how he'll know.

Are You Someone's Otter?

Tim is my Otter! When I watched this precious video of two otters holding hands, it made me think of Tim.  He is always reaching over and holding my hand or touching me, or giving me a kiss.  I know how this little otter feels, floating along, safe and secure because her man is at her side.

Make sure that you watch all the way to the end of the video, too cute!

I Love My Wife

Husbands say these words out loud "I love my wife"..

Some of you are thinking, I told her I loved her when we got married. Why do I need to say it again?

Because words are powerful. And you can tell what is in your heart by what comes out of your mouth.

You tell everybody about your favorite team/sport/athlete. Or you talk about how you love to kill deer or you love drinking beer.

So shouldn't you profess your feelings for the most important earthly relationship you have?

I love my wife.

You should be comfortable saying that to your friends, co workers...anyone you meet.

I love my wife.

Say that to yourself all day long. Some husbands may even need that reminder to keep their eyes focused in the right place. Men...you know what I mean.

I love my wife.

Say it around your children. It will give them a great example of what a relationship between a husband and wife should be. And it will amaze you to see how much confidence they will have knowing Dad loves and respects Mom.

I love my wife.

Of course you should say those words to her over and over again. Many times a day. Tell her in the morning when you/she wakes up. Tell her at night before she goes to sleep. Call her. Text her. Email her.

I love my wife.

The most important words that will come out of your mouth today.

A Good Thing

In Proverbs it says, "He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord."

Wow, that means I am a good thing. I like that. And, if you're married then you either found a good thing or you are a good thing. So, let's act like it.

Men, treat that woman like the very good thing that she is. She will rise to the occasion.

Women, start behaving in a manner that reminds him of just how good a thing you are.

And in the immortal words of James Brown let's all, "Get up Offa that Thang, Dance and You'll Feel Better!"

!!!!!! Valentines Day...should be just an exclamation point!!!

Just got back from our local grocery store...Amazed by all the guys in the express line getting flowers and chocolate.

Not that there is anything wrong with that. But it has always intrigued me when advertisers, the press and people in general make such a big deal about Valentines Day.

In a relationship, especially a marriage, everyday should be filled with some romance and excitement. Holidays like Valentines Day should not be days where you have undue pressure to impress and "get out of the doghouse." For married couples, anniversaries can be included in that category also...

My point is this...and I am primarily speaking to the guys here...go out of your way everyday to inject something special into your relationship. Then on days like anniversaries and Valentines day, you can put an exclamation point on your relationship!!

Off to have a nice dinner with my sweetie....Happy Valentines Day!!!

Wedding Day!!

Let's Get Started

1988 was a great year for me. I graduated from Georgia Tech and started my first (and what turned out to be my only) corporate job. I built and moved into my first house.

But best of all, in the fall of that year...I pledged my love to Lori Freeman and she honored me by pledging her love to me and we started sharing our lives together. Every second, every minute, every hour of every day since that time.

Just a few years before that I had fallen in love with her at first sight.

Now many years later, after raising two wonderful children. Moving in and out of a few houses. Starting and shutting down a few businesses. Scraping by on less than pennies and having financial abundance. Traveling to all corners of the world. Survived some health issues. And living through many other struggles that we will just skip for now.... I can truly say that we are more in love and more committed to each other now than the day we both said "I do."

So why am I writing about this now? In a blog on the internet?

For many reasons.

First, it is Valentines Day and I am always looking for unique ways to show my love and affection for my wife. Why not tell the world?

Second, Glori (a few years ago the Lord changed her name...very cool) and I have a heart for couples that have made a commitment to each other. And we grieve every time we hear about friends or someone we know that is struggling in their relationship. So we were recently in our sitting room discussing it and a voice clearly said "do something about it and tell people what you have learned."

So Glori set up this blog and we are both going to write and share words of encouragement, the good and the bad that we have learned over the years and whatever God tells us to share.

One item I must clarify before we launch. We are not doing this because we think we have the "perfect" marriage. But we have been blessed and most importantly I work everyday to be the man/husband/spouse/father that God wants me to be.

I encourage you to do the same.
