Happy Anniversary to us!

Wow!  29 years!  Dana and I got married this day in a small church in Saline, Michigan.  We were both in college studying engineering and working for General Motors.  I never would have guessed we would be where we are now.

We lived in a small apartment half way between school and work.  There we got involved with a church youth program.  God used that to launch us into youth ministry.  In 1984, we loaded up our two boys and moved halfway across the country to Kansas City.  Here we have had so many great adventures with each other, friends, and thousands of teenagers.  Our lives have been filled with summer camp, Bible clubs, youth preaching club, rallies, high school assemblies, and mission trips while raising 5 great kids.  It's been a whirlwind, but we've enjoyed all of the good times and trusted God through all of the tough times.

We will keep on loving God and loving others and laughing a lot.  It's worked so far.

Happy Anniversary Dana.  Thanks for loving me and putting up with this crazy man.  And thank you God.  I am blessed.
