Wednesday will be our 20th wedding anniversary. I must say, it’s been 20 very good years and I’m a very blessed and thankful man to have the wife God’s given me. I’m not the easiest guy to live with and that’s putting it mildly. Along those lines, a book I pulled off my shelf and re-read parts of is entitled When Sinners Say “I DO” by Dave Harvey. It certainly describes our marriage. I can’t recommend it enough. Harvey does a great job of portraying a truly gospel centered marriage. He shows what it means to live as a husband or wife in the light of the finished work of Jesus Christ. More and more I’m seeing that what we really need is good news (the gospel), not just good advice for all of life- marriage included. If you’re married or contemplating getting married, you need this book. I hope to get the young marrieds at HLPC reading this one. Want a copy? You can order one HERE.

God bless those womenfolk who put up with our idiocies. There are plenty of good men out there, but the best ones have good women keeping them straight.

You DO realize all the jokes I’m NOT making about you and Connie and twenty years. It’s just TOO easy.
Congratulations!

Thanks, Ryan. I’d love for the new young couples group that is in the formulation stage at HLPC to read this book together!
