I seldom get very personal on this blog. Blogger “transparency” is a fashion that should not only be allowed to die, but should perhaps be brutally bludgeoned to death. Those very sincere sentiments notwithstanding, . . .
Today, I ask your indulgence as I — inadequately, to be sure — publicly acknowledge and pay tribute to the one who has stuck with me for better and worse, for richer and poorer, in sickness and heath, for twenty-two years now: my wife.
“He who finds a wife finds a good thing / And obtains favor from the Lord” (Proverbs 18:22).
Kelly, you are the love of my life. Practically, you become more of a “helper suitable” to me as time goes by. Impractically, but more wonderfully, you become more attractive and desirable by the hour. You make my life possible, and, although you hear it far too seldom, make my life pleasant. You are truly “the grace of life” to me. If the Lord grants us another twenty-two years or more, it will be my privilege to spend them with you.
You are my most precious earthly treasure.

Last week we all found out she's an excellent note-taker and blogger, too.
I suppose if I told you that you look like John-boy Walton, it wouldn't be the first time you've heard it.

Rebecca, you took the words out of my mouth with regard to both things.
Congratulations, David and Kelly!

It's only been 22? Wow, you seem so much older in print.
Seriously, congrats to you both. I don't think you look like John-Boy, though the glasses are certainly Elton-John boy...

Daniel,
How do you know I wasn’t forty-five when I got married? As for your final comment, I’m graciously ignoring it.
Rebecca,
You are the first. Thanks a lot.
