Well, it's a little bit past the date, but my blogging has been suspect at best. On June 29, Jan and I celebrated 12 years of marriage. Now, I know all the jokes about being married and some, although quite humorous, just don't apply here. God has literally gifted me with an incredible woman. Jan is first and foremost my best friend on this journey of life. We share our lives together as one, as we should. She is also my lover (yeah, I said it). God made us to love one another and he gave us marriage as a gift. As a married couple, we get to enjoy the physical relationship which is a blessing. She is also my sister in faith. She is wise in counsel, and gentle in correction. And Jan is an inspiration in her faithfulness to the needy. She works with those who are unloved and forgotten, and she loves them dearly. I only wish I could do the same with equal compassion. Jan is tender-hearted, although most don't get to see that in her. I do...and it's real.
I guess I could simply say I've got the best. Thanks, Jan, for being more than I could ever hope for in a wife and friend. I love you!
