We just celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary, Kathy and I. It was amazing just to prepare for the night's festivities by looking back at some old photo albums of her in younger days (she keeps these in the "man-cave" at the homestead). It was also her 40th birthday which took some careful surprise planning with some dear friends - Thanks everyone. Anyway, there she was hanging out with high school friends, family members and her college roommate (who might be reading this post - "hi J") She looked beautiful...then as now . Talk about "remembering the wife of your youth"! It's quite an experience and at the risk of sounding sappy (Hey...my post) it somehow makes me fall in love with her all over again.
Now, I don't just mention that for nostalgic purposes...though that's cool too. I say it because it makes me think of the BIble. Whoever said that the Bible is "God's Road Map for Life" really missed the point of His Word to us. It was not written so that I could know how to make my way through this life the best that I can...it was written so that I could know Jesus intimately. I don't need to know how to live...I need to know how to die...and let the Christ Life transform me into the image of the Son of God. As I read it that way, it's like looking at snap shots...photos, if you will of my Savior. From Genesis to the Revelation, He's so beautiful and every time I read about Him...I fall in love with Him...all over again.
