A FUNNY THING HAPPENED....

Chris and I are coming up on our 59th wedding anniversary in August.  Funny thing--we've been married longer than we've been single. Another funny thing about our marriage--it was exciting like a roller coaster or perhaps flying an airplane through a hurricane. We set out to have an adventurous life and we did! It is only by the grace of God that we have persevered--and also that my parents wouldn't take me back.

I can't believe what we have lived through in our lives.  First--  World War II, then Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Historical  attempted assassinations and  assassinations of U. S. Presidents and former presidents--John F. Kennedy, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and now Donald Trump. Where does all the hatred come from?  According to the Bible in I John 2:16 it is this--"For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world." Good works, teaching good things, and good governments help, but only Jesus changes hearts.So we pray for Jesus to come back and set everything to the way it was from the beginning--"And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good."
