Happy Anniversary, "49," and God is still with us!

I sat in my dad's rocking chair and asked God to bring me the man he had chosen. I had specifics. He must be a Christian, a follower of Christ; he must be wired with kindness and compassion because the journey with my unique wiring would take a God-designed Spirit. And to be specific, he needed to be an athlete, maybe a baseball player.

The Wall family had moved to Plainview and attended First Baptist Plainview as our family did. Clinton and I were in the youth department in the old Methodist church building at the corner where the Family Life Center sits today. I don't think he knew who I was, nor did I pay attention to the guys. But, in our senior year of high school, God brought us together. We started dating in 1973 (God told Clinton that he was called to take care of me), were married in 1975, have two beautiful children and five God gifts that call us Ushka & Grandpa (or g-pa as Stone says it at two years old). 

We are blessed!
