This past week I was blessed by a letter I received that related how much Kristen and I loved each other. It read as follows: “The first time I saw you and Kristen together was at a Discover class shortly after the Oldham Campus (Southeast Christian Church) opened. When you introduced Kristen, your eyes sparkled […]
He's All Ears
This life without my mom has been terribly hard- knowing she won’t be there for my next birthday or to celebrate Mother’s day or to go on a walk on the beach with me. She won’t be there to help me with my papers or give me advice or to celebrate her favorite holiday- Thanksgiving. […]
Happy Valentine's Day!
Today’s a very tough day not having Kristen here- the first Valentine’s Day in 24 years (counting our dating times) that we have not been together. Most of those years, I would have given her a special gift from Victoria Secret or another gift, then a special dinner with just the two of us (unless […]
Three Weeks Later
Three weeks ago today Kristen went home to be with the Lord and I have wondered and asked HIM so many times why He took her so early. Her influence for Jesus was ever growing and from my perspective and many others- now would not be the best time for her to go to heaven. […]

My heart was full of so much pain, grief, and sorrow…….I just couldn’t stop the tears. The thought of me never waking […]
Victory
Kristen was impressed by the Lord that her theme for 2014 was “victory” based upon Psalm 98:1 – “O sing to the Lord a new song for He has done wonderful things, His right hand and His holy arm have gained the victory for Him.” And we as a family had hoped and prayed and […]
Fruit for the Kingdom and Glory for the King
Learning to live this latest lesson: pain is never pointless. Thanks to our redeeming God, there’s purpose in our pain. Revelation reminds us that one day every tear will be wiped away and there will be no more sorrow, pain or death. Until then, it’s appointed unto man once to die. Until then, we cry, […]
