“I have been married to Christ (1 Cor. 7:4), my first love, for over four decades and married to Kim, the love of my life, since 1983. I fondly look forward to heaven when my work here is finished and meeting all there that I’ve had an influence on, especially my three children, and all that have had an influence on me.
