20 Years

Today is special. Today is about commitment. Being committed is unique in today’s culture. I see people that crave experiences, run themselves ragged and jump ship when the going gets tough. I see an impatient generation brought up on television that has lost its ability to simply loose track of time. Time is an investment with great returns; depth, focus and clarity. Time is a commitment.

An era has just flown by in my life. I seem the same, but everything around me begs to differ. My hair, my wrinkles, my belly, my children, they are daily reminders of a steady relentless march towards Zion. It seems like just yesterday that I watched a vibrant, spicy, redhead glide down an old carpeted hallway at a Baptist Church in Las Vegas. She was slowing floating between the pews with an angelic aura glowing all around her body. She is the same. She is my spicy angel.

So how do you stay married 20 years? Well, it’s with one glorious, mystical, magical day at a time that’s how. Some seasons we have struggled, some seasons we have strived and some we have coasted, but through all the seasons we have grown. Heidi and I are committed to the journey for the long haul, excited about the voyage, knowing that the finest things come with time invested in each other and a spiritual committed relationship with our Jesus.

So, 20 years is a long time, but in eternity it's one simple heartbeat, so now you know what I was trying to describe, it seems that just yesterday…

Love is a symbol of eternity. It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end. ~Author Unknown

True love stories never have endings. ~Richard Bach
