Today’s post is not going to be particularly long. I have written before about the blessing that Kim is to my life, and I will undoubtedly do so again, but I wanted to share with everyone that Kim and I will celebrate 22 years of marriage tomorrow. This milestone is a glorious testimony to both God’s grace and Kim’s patience!
I really don’t know what I would do without her. Being married to a minister is not easy. Being married to this minister is a particular challenge. I am a rather peculiar fellow; I honestly don’t know if I could live with me.
Kim has been the best mother imaginable to Hannah and Coleman. We were told a long time ago that 4 out of 5 marriages involving a special needs child end in divorce. We are grateful on a daily basis that God has allowed us to remain on the enduring side of that statistic. Through sometimes difficult and trying times, Kim has continued to believe in me, believe in us, and keeps putting her trust in God and her future in His hands. I’m so very glad that she has.
Happy anniversary, Kim! The best is yet to come!

Congrats!!! You have come a long way and I am so proud of both of you. What a good example you both are to young couples that want to bail out of marriage at the first sign of trouble. Tim, what is that on you face???
Love

Thanks for the well-wishes, Merlin!
Connie, thank you for your kind and encouraging words. God has been good to us and strengthened us, for which we are very grateful. If we can encourage others also, then all the better! The thing that is ringing my smile in the photo is the result of a vow that I took a long time ago to never shave while on vacation. It normally disappears soon after returning home, though!
