Celebrate with us!

On June, 11th, 2022, Stacy and I celebrate 34 years of marriage. This is a somewhat whacked celebratory post—my own crazy way to thank God for my wife. I loved her the day I married her. But somehow, 34 years, 7 kids, and 1 grandson later, I love her more than I ever could have imagine back then.
How do I love thee, Stacy? Let me count the ways...
1. You're funny.
2. You're witty.
3. You're a great partner.
4. You're patient.
5. You're the best disciplemaker I know.
6. You're still fertile. (Who knew, right?)
7. You're an excellent mom.
8. You love me even when I'm crazy.
9. You gave me this book.
10. You're my best friend.
11. You love drinking coffee together.
12. I could keep on going, but there's not enough space on the Internet to hold it all.
How about another 34?

Session 1 Be a Disciple (D1) Everything in life will try to pull you off the simplicity of following Jesus together with others. Session 2 Who Makes Disciples (D2) Following Jesus isn’t a subject to be mastered, but an infectious way of life that is lived together and shared with others. Session 3 Who Make More Disciples (D3) If those we disciple don’t make more disciples, then we haven’t made disciples like Jesus. When? 8 AM to 12:30 PM (light lunch included) Where? * Saturday morning, January 28th, 2023, at CrossPoint Church, Morton, IL * Saturday morning, February 4th, Harvest Time Bible Church, Rock Falls, IL * S
