In this blog, I've written about everything from bicyclists to education reform to Rush Limbaugh to scorpions. It's time to get a little personal. I want to honor my family.
My daughter Tabitha is a beautiful, intelligent 17 yr old with tremendous potential to accomplish much in this life. She's a talented actress (member of the International Thespian Society), an accomplished student (National Honor Society), and she won first prize in a beauty/talent competition some years ago (her talent was singing).
My almost-14 yr old son Isaac is also quite talented. He got a set of drums for Christmas, and he's much better at playing than I was five months after I started. He's also learning guitar and violin, and he's quite adept at Fruity-Loops, having recorded several CDs of his own compositions. He's got a fun sense of humor, and he's very easy to get along with (no sign of teen angst yet).
My bride Gina...what can I say? I'll say what I tell her every day: she's the best wife in the world. OK, I don't have any vast reservoir of empirical data to prove this assertion, but I still believe it to be true.
Gina has me wrapped around her little finger--I would do anything to show her that I love her. The secret of her power? She is truly kind, patient, gentle, humble, generous, meek, and forgiving. (That, Betty Friedan, is The Feminine Mystique)
She also loves the Lord and the mission that he has called us to. For now, she and I enjoy teaching 9AM the fourth-grade Sunday School at Chandler Christian Church.
Gina is a very talented painter/artist (please mention her to anyone who collects such art). Between her painting, her ministry, her part-time job at Wal-Mart, her vegetable garden, her excellent cooking, and her diligent house-keeping, she is the ultimate Proverbs 31 woman.
Am I bragging about my loved ones? Babe Ruth said something to the effect of, "It aint bragging if it's true." It's true.
