There are two days in my life that have impacted me more than any other experiences I've ever had or will have. The first one is the day I accepted Christ as my personal Savior. I don't honesty have a calendar day for that but I was six years old and it was a Sunday night after church. I have no doubt as to what took place in my life that evening. Obviously, receiving forgiveness for my sins and the gift of eternal life will never be replaced by any other day at the top of my list.
Having said that, today comes right behind it. Thirty five years ago on August 11, 1973 at 2:00 PM in the Chapel at Camp Nathanael, Debbie and I publicly pledged our love and commitment to each other in a wedding ceremony. At the time I didn't fully realize what a spe
cial gift I had received in Debbie Mosgrove. And I don't think either of us had any idea how great our life together would become but it certainly has. The "for better, for worse" has come into play a few times with the "for better" far outweighing the "worse" part. I could write scores of pages about God's blessings and provision but let me simply say I'm so grateful the Lord has given me the privilege of spending my life with Debbie.

As I think about it, both of these incredibly life changing days are based on unconditional love. Christ loves each of us unconditionally and Debbie loves me the same way. What greater blessing could a man want!
That's what's happening along the banks of Troublesome Creek until next time.
