Where did the time go? Celebrating their 5th Anniversary, my son, Aaron, and his precious wife, Annie, have seen their first five years of marriage come and go. A new house, a new baby girl, they've been immensely blessed. Fraught with the same ups and downs as most of us, they've weathered any storms that blew their way, and have found peace and comfort in each others arms.
"For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh." Ephesians 5:31
I'm grateful today, looking back. That baby boy I once held in my arms is now holding a precious little one in his own. I'm also eternally grateful for Annie coming into his life. She has blessed us all.
Here's to the next five!
Storytelling has followed me since early childhood. Born in WV, a coal miner's granddaughter, I grew up in a mess of Pentecostals and a house full of storytellers.

Vows To Last A Lifetime
Ten years ago TODAY, I married my best friend. A man of integrity, wisdom, and strength for the both of us. There's not a lot more to say, that I haven't already said about him on my blog and on Facebook. So, I'll just quote myself.
From the acknowledgements in Televenge ...
And last but never least, I want to
thank Michael Cable. If it had not been for your unfailing love and unswerving
patience there would be no Televenge. None of this could
have been possible had you not picked me out of the miry clay many years ago
and given me this whole new wonderful life. Your constant devotion made it
possible for me to be a writer. Not once in over ten years did you complain of
my endless hours of writing. Your uncompromising belief in me is mind-boggling,
and your sacrifice epitomizes what it means to love me as Christ loves the
church. Thank you for never allowing me to give up. With you, I found
unconditional love and the true meaning of the word, husband. I’m
grateful to be made from your rib, a man of extraordinary integrity, insight,
and strength, the vessel through whom God has chosen to love me in ways I never
thought possible. There are no words.
