Anniversary
Well, 11 years ago today I got married!!! It’s weird, but I love Maryellen more today than I even KNEW was possible back then, and back then, well, I knew it ALL!!
Today we’re going to the Black Swamp Arts Festival in BG… it’s our annual anniversary outing, we’ll probably get a nice meal out tonight too. And tomorrow we’re being baptized!!
Yep, I don’t talk a whole lot about my faith on here, nor do I in the “real world” much, I prefer to set an example by how I live my life and how I treat other people in hopes that someone I come across might think, “This guy seems to have a pretty good grasp on things….I’d like to live like him”
I’m a Christian, and I try to love everyone… sometimes that’s hard, and sometimes it ends up hurting, but it’s the only way to live. It’s how Christ lived. “Christians” who bash other religions, who bash sexual orientation, who CONDEMN others for ANY reason are SO far off base. I can’t stand that… in fact, it almost kept me from wanting to profess myself AS a Christian. Others doing wrong doesn’t mean I shouldn’t do right though. God loves us all… we should all love each other.

Congrats on 11 years! May they keep getting better.
Ditto to what Ed said– congrats! And here’s to many many more!
There needs to be more Christians like you!
Congrats on the milestone and the religious affiliation! I just now caught your comment on my 57 questions post… then caught up on your blog – the 911 story gave me goosebumps and made me regret the teacher’s salary, but not being a teacher – I just wanted to let you know that the “insightful” comment you noticed after 57 questions was probably posted by my brother, poor little fella, it’s all he’s got. He’s just pissed cuz I haven’t emailed him lately. Good to hear from ya. Unless they change they’re minds about releasing us from guard weekends for the rest of the year, maybe I’ll run into ya at BG’s homecoming. I usually have guard that weekend, but this year the wife and I (she’s a Falcon too) were thinking about hauling our daughters up for a fall afternoon on campus. Later dude!
