To me, it's a testament of God's love that even with a darker branch of family history with numerous non-believers that, generations later, Christ lovingly chose to draw me.

Just today, I walked my daughter through her new school. As it was the high school I attended, I thought I'd "show her the ropes". I was lost the moment I entered. So much has changed. Yet here and there I saw reminders of a time that still seems like yesterday. Time is strange. Memories seem very near and very distant all at once. I was thinking back to that young schmuck I was. I'm sure he never considered walking his daughter through those halls. To him it would have been decades in the future. To me, today, it seems the blink of an eye. Carpe diem! Great memories.

In that regard, I've made a handful of those. Also, as I was married just shy of 40, that played a role in how God built our family, as we had one child biologically and one via international adoption. Never would I have imagined being head of a multiracial family, but here I am! How unsearchable are His ways, His paths beyond tracing out!

I love to hear people's stories and the incredibly interesting ways that God will bring people to himself and work in and through their lives. I'm glad to have a new episode this week. Thanks for being back. Yet another gem for the Cross and the Jukebox.

I feel the same about my wife. I'm not sure I knew what I was doing the first time I asked her out (I was younger, only eighteen at the time), but it was a great decision and I see God's hand in it. She is His gift to me. There are many little decisions that we make it life that we are either unqualified to make or do not realize the enormity of where that decision will take us.
