God's Man | Thoughts...

I took a moment to recollect What I know I shouldn't forget Thoughts of love, t houghts of grace How could I ever hope to save face The times I should have prayed to you The times I should have let you help me through I was too busy and my focus was off As my destination was surely lost I am trying my Lord to find my way Please help me to let you lead the way  

Happy Birthday to my Bride...

On September 18 , something happened that changed my world forever. At the time I couldn't have known the significance of that day. Life was new and I was trying to find my place in it. Isn't that how it normally works, you are walking along minding your own business when BAM! You never see it coming and you could never have prepared for it. So what was it that happened on September 18? On September 18 my bride was born and I am ever grateful to God for her. I know , for a fact , without her I would be a very different person.  I would appreciate it if you would go over to http://letterstomybride.blogspot.com  and leave a birthday message for her.  Thanks
