Marriage That Lasts
August 16, 1980, Patty and I made the public commitment to one another – “til death do we part.” It happened in the First Baptist Church of Richmond, Texas. Both of our families were present, along with many friends, most of which were the band members I had played with or were currently playing with, not in churches, but places that stayed open ‘til midnight or later. 4 1/2 months later, our lives changed directions, as we knew we needed to change our life-style and committed totally to whatever God wanted to do in us, and through us. He became our first love and to this day, He still is.
This summer, we have chosen to celebrate all that God has done since that day in August of 1980. Too many things to count for sure, but what I want to share with you all, is the number one reason why we can celebrate 40 years of marriage. (more…)
