November 23rd, 2023

On this Thanksgiving Day I want to thank the Lord for directing my steps. In ways I still find nearly impossible to explain the Lord enabled me to reconnect with a lady who is now my wife. Although Karen played and sang in our wedding when Brenda and I were married in 1966 our paths hadn’t crossed in fifty years. Shortly after Easter we reconnected and shared lunch at Olive Garden. It wasn’t a date, just two old friends getting reacquainted. That chance encounter blossomed into a romance and on September 2, 2023 Karen became my wife. Oh, happy day!

“Houses and wealth are inherited from parents, but a prudent wife is from the Lord.”

— Proverbs 19:14 (NIV)

Lord I thank You for turning my mourning into joy. I thank You for bringing Karen to be my wife. Amen.
