"I'm a dog, I'm a dog!"

My Wife
An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. - Prov 31:10
Today Amy and I celebrate 10 years of marriage. Looking back on pictures of our honeymoon, I am overcome with that dual sense of the past--it seems like yesterday and like worlds ago at the same time. I am reminded of how our friendship first grew over months and even years, how we led music together before we were even dating, and how many times I played (and replayed) one particular answering machine message from her.
These 10 years have been a great adventure of life together and life as a family. Although it is not always easy, Amy is committed to honoring God and being the kind of wife and mother that He desires. God has used her in my life so many times--both in the joy of ministry together, and also to point out my weaknesses and sin to help me grow. Any experience that I have is made better when I can share it with her. Neither of us is perfect, but I pray we can keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, and that he will continue to draw us closer to him and closer to each other as we move toward the years ahead.
Amy, I'm so blessed to have you as my companion on this journey. I love you.
