Be Mine

Lauren and I have been together for 40 years this Spring, since the Spring Fling at Disneyland in 1969. Forty wonderful years! Without doubt, love is eternal and amid the vissitudes and experiences of life, only grows stronger. Love is pure and the foundational source for joy, evidenced in the example of He whose love for each of us is without measure. It is reassuring and comforting amid the uncertainties of mortality that we are one by loving covenant for "time and all eternity." There is great peace and joy in eternal perspectives, and knowing what is and what can be, because of a loving price paid so long ago. To all, and especially to Lauren, Happy Valentine's Day!

Thank you for enduring well the infirmities and uncertainties of mortality-you are my strength in the midnight moments of life.
