what about your bad times?...

margaret and i have been married for 34 years. 31 great years and 3 horrible years. we half jokingly have said, we have never contemplated divorce, murder yes.

now those three years came about because of what i call my three year jerk time. i was in the ministry but i was living totally for myself. i finally left the ministry with my family and fell in love with GOD and fell in love with my family and then GOD was good to let us get back to what HE had called us to do.

now those three years were not what GOD wanted but HE has used them. because of those years margaret and i can say to couples we understand but we also can say but don't give up, don't run from your commitment even in the bad times. GOD can use both the bad in your life and the good if you will be honest and open and vulnerable.

just a thought from bill's front porch...
