I don’t know if I should take it as a complement when someone reminds me how lucky I am to have Linnea as my wife. I am constantly being told she is too good for me, to this I respond “I KNOW!” I have been called many things, but I am not stupid, I know she is too good for me. I absolutely believe she is my most precious gift here on earth, that’s why I married her! I wasn’t passing that opportunity by.
Just what she was thinking when she said “of course I’ll marry you”, as if there was ever any doubt, I’m still not sure I understand. But PRAISE GOD she did. I remember a movie with helen hunt and jack nicholos (sp?) when he tells her “you make me want to be a better man.” Linnea has absolutely motivated me to be a better man.
So that is why we are headed out for the world race. That is why we are sleeping in a trailer. With no plumbing, giving me insight to the saying “no pot to pee in”. Waking up to Linnea battling our gas bag mastiff Sequioa for the covers. That is why we are going through all this- because I want to be a better man.
Paul said that he had not obtained (attained?) anything yet, and neither have I. It has been a long road to get where we are, and who I am is nothing to be proud of (yet). But what we are heading into is the next step toward who God is making us.
So I want to thank God for my beautiful wife, my incredible life, and our incredible future. Press On.
