As many know, or as you may have read in previous posts I've moved around a bit. You don’t dare do something like this without a woman who believes in you and will go with you. Actually, Deb said a couple of moves ago that if I moved again I was going by myself but I’m sure glad she changed her mind on that one. J
I believe
that God brought Deb into my life as my wife because for some reason He decided
I should have someone to share life with me who would go with me from Walnut,
to Lisbon, to Manning, to Norfolk, to Harlan, to Treynor, and to Carlisle. OK, wait, maybe that says a lot more about
the kind of Godly woman she is and nothing about me. It just confirms that I am the recipient of
that blessing.
She usually
previews everything I write. She has
edited Player Handbooks, Parent Handbooks, Coaching Handbooks, Letters, Resume’s,
and now Blogs, but she won’t preview this one so that’s why there will probably
be a lack of commas or an over abundance.
She has
listened to me during the good times, the bad times, the times I’ve wanted to
quit but didn’t, the times I needed a voice of reason before making a rushed
decision, and the times I needed the confirmation that a decision was the right
one.
She did all
this while getting our children carted to 20 years of basketball games and only
missing 2-3 during my head basketball coaching career, and those were due to
someone being sick.
I’m thankful that last year, in my last coaching gig, when we were fortunate to finish as State Runner-Up at the Boy's State Golf Tournament, she was there and shared it with me the final day. She was there three years before too when we did it the first time, but this was extra special because of it being my last event as a coach.

We’re enjoying
this phase of life now and enjoy our time alone eating out, going to college
games, theatre and music events, or even a drive to do some shopping. Point is, after coming up on 30 years (in
December) of being together I thank God for the blessing of marriage and the
love of this one woman.
I hope if you're reading this you are, or will be, blessed with love and happiness not only on Valentine's Day, but every day. If not, please remember that God has His plan and His timing. Seek it, Trust it, and Live in it.

“For I know the plans I have for you”, declares the Lord. “Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”. (Jeremiah 29:11) I thank God for His plan and I’m thankful He blessed me with the woman who is a wonderful mother, grandmother, and wife.
