I still can't believe that I'd never heard that story about the drunk driving charge, though. Keep writing- who knows how many stories may be uncovered through this! =P Love, Kelly Good work, Dad, that’s an encouraging post!

This is a great post! I appreciate and admire (even covet... AHHHH... I know, I'm a sinner) your wisdom. "Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory He will reveal to us later." Romans 8:18, NLT (yep that's right... not ESV or NASB!) I think it's safe to say that even the good memories are "nothing compared to the glory He will reveal to us". Our hope is in Christ and His Grace and nothing else... NOTHING! Grace and peace to you my friend. J Hey my friend! This is a great post!
