the boys are back in town!

together . . .

32 years ago today we embarked on a journey "together" that we never could have imagined. two young kids facing odds that most people would have walked away from. the twists and turns of life have challenged us all along the way. we have loved "together", suffered loss "together" and learned "together". but through every situation, "together" has been the constant. we were never meant to be anything other than "together". i'm so glad that you believe in me and have stood with me when others would have said goodbye. now, we reach another milestone on our journey and we will celebrate "together".

i love you . . . happy anniversary sweetheart!

if ever you worshiped

it wasn’t that long ago
you were a girl all alone
there was no way to know
how soon you’d have kids of your own

now you’re the first one awake
the last one asleep
cleaning and making your plans
and there are days when it feels
like there’s no time to pray
you wonder if God understands

but if ever you worshiped, it’s now
if ever you kept your vow
you may not understand how
but if ever you worshiped, it’s now

the memory of leaves in the fall
walking through canyons so tall
God was so close in it all
now your chance to worship seems small

you’re the first one to taste
but the last one to eat
when everyone goes their own way
and it’s your name that’s called
in the deep of the night
one more hour of sleep floats away

every shirt that you fold
every nose that you blow
is a gift to the Father above
every lunch that is made
every game that is played
is an offering of love

but if ever you worshiped, it’s now
if ever you kept your vow
you may not understand how
but if ever you worshiped, it’s now
