Today is our 30th wedding anniversary. God bless you, Colleen, for keeping me around all of these years. In today's society it seems like long lasting marriages like ours are an endangered species. But some of us are still here.The following quote comes via Tim Keller, in the acknowledgements to his book Counterfeit Gods, quoting the hymn writer John Newton who said this about Newton's wife, Polly.
"It is no wonder if so many years, so many endearments, so many obligations have produced such an uncommon effect, that by long habit, it is almost impossible for me to draw a breath, in which you are not involved."Amen! That is what a good long lasting marriage becomes. Thank you again, honey, and thank you Lord. Here's to 30 more years.
