On July 1, Debbie and I celebrate 29 years of marriage. Looking back we laugh at how little we began with. No money, no real plan, no support systems, no role models at that time, yet God supplied every need as we never stopped growing, challenging each other to set and achieve personal goals, and [...]

Professor and personal friend, Dr. Mike Bozack has written an outstanding book called, “Street-Smart Advice to Christian College Students”. It’s a must read “one-of-a-kind” for any student, parent, pastor and educator, who wants to see a student succeed in college. Get a copy and see if I’m not right on this one!
Looks like it’s going to be Kate plus 8 if things don’t change. I hope not. That’s why our Summer Love Marriage series coming in July is so relevant at this time. Healthy marriages take intentional and constant work. Hope you’ll be there. Hope Jon & Kate’s marriage works out too.
