Looking Back to Look Forward

This is the 1^st photo I know in which Erica + I are together: probably the Fall of 1977, my 1^st year in Pacific Bible College, less than 2 years before our wedding. Can you find us?

Hint: she always had a tough time keeping her eyes open for photos + I sported a mustache back in those days.

Funny thing is: we’re on opposite sides in the photo, but would be married in really quite a short time!

Life’s full of surprises, isn’t it?

Today would be our 35^th Anniversary. 35 years together, 3 children, now 3 grandchildren, many years of ministry:  pastoring, teaching, being Mom + Dad to more than we can tally. Much fruit…  more fruit… fruit that not only remains, but by God’s grace continues to bear more fruit!

Thank you Lord for the good You bring through faith + love. Little did I know that girl on the other side of the picture would so soon be my sweetheart, bride, my wife to share so many years and memories that yet lay ahead! Thank you, Dear! What a privilege to share those years together!  I miss you; you are ever in my heart!

Thank you, family + friends, for your continued prayers, love and support for me + our family.

 

We look back

to look forward

for more that leads further

into all eternity!
