Celebrating 40 Years

August 23, 1968 Sandy and I became husband and wife. I was a second year Bible College student, Sandy was working for Baldwin piano in Fayetteville, Arkansas. We had no clue, like most newly weds, how the Lord would lead in our lives.

In the eyes of some, our marriage is an unconventional union as I have been on the road a lot working in different parts of the world. Our kids grew up in boarding school (Rift Valley Academy), which most parents of today’s generation find abhorrent. But, along the way the Lord has given us two wonderful daughters, two great son-in-laws, four beautiful grandkids and a rich and rewarding ministry. Together, the journey continues.

He's still handsome, she's still lovely. They are examples of true servants of Christ. They are wonderful parents, in-laws, and grandparents. Theirs is a legacy of love and faithfulness. (And their daughters are no worse for the wear because of boarding school--in fact, I wouldn't have changed a thing.)

Thanks, guys, for sticking it out when it was tough, and reveling in the day-to-day maturing of your love. I am not ignorant of how privileged I am to be your daughter. Thank you for loving Christ and loving each other. Generations will rise up and call you blessed because of your commitment.

I love you both.
