I was married for 16 yrs.Most of which her and I both were miserable. we were’nt living right. Despite our deep beliefs in Christ, we di not attend church. Drugs became a large part of our relationship. eventuially i lost my business(electical contracting) due to a severe back injury. That allowed me to obtain drugs from pretty much any doctor I wanted. my wife started to get phsically violent a over small disagreements and I had faults too. She hardly ever worked the whole 16 years. I finally could not live that way anymore. I tried to talk to her but she never listened. i wanted a clean life and to get myself back to work. She was’nt or maybe was unable to be supportive. while on face book one day I chatted with a friend from high school. it seemed she had been thru everything i had been and we could totally understnd each other, had the same dreams, and most of all could communicate. Something i never had with wife. my wife and I had talked of divorce for a long time and seperated many times. She knew I had been talking to this lady and I had feelings for her as well. I was totally honest. we finally decided to file for divorce. we had no kids or not much in monetary assets. after i filed. the lady I had communicated with started seeing one another. She has been divorced 11 years, raised 2 children well which are ages 19(lives on his own) and 17(she still is with her mom i’ll refer to as “k”). after her divorce she made some wrong decisions with 2 men she dated that both moved in with her and to put it simply , used her. K ‘s family dogged her badly to the point she decided it was’nt meant to be for her to have a relationship. for the past 8 yrss. she has’nt. when her and I really came together emotionally she said as well as I that we neither had ever had someone in our life with the same dreams and values. most of all honesty. we have been seeing each other for several months now. My divorce should be final soon. It’s been dragged out due to my ex-wife wanting money I don’t have. K knew everything going in to this relationship. at xmas i gave her a wedding set and told her it was meant as a promise not engagement. Obviously we need much more time to let this develope as well as me needing to legally have my divorce final. Just last week she texted me and said she loved me…and believed in her and I…and knew i felt the same….to smile and have faith we are going to have a good life. then the next day at bwork she lost the ring….got very upset..then found it. her boss is a VERY WELL KNOWN gospel/country singer and her husband is in country music only but very famous as well. You probably know who I am speaking of. I am under the impression this is between you and I and not published. K and I have made some very serious promises to each other. as i said the ring was meant as a promise synbol till the proper time we become engaged. her boss told her even though by finding the ring it was a sign from God that she should re-consider whether I am right for her or not. She said more to really make K feel confused. Now k has overnight went from feeling like she was “in love” with me to saying we should take sometime apart until I get my business going good and my divorce is final. I told her…she knew everything about me coming in to this. Her boss has never met me and knows nothing about me. I need k’s support purely emotionally especially now. i am very sensitive and she new that. I have my own home and have never excepted a penny from her. her other relationships had done that to the extreme. I just would like or need to speak to someone like you badly. mail back and I will give you a contact number if this is possible. sincerely and God Bless, Johnny Hancock

The Lord has been having me write to a few that I had held grudges against. You're right it is a freeing experience. .-= Bill Foote´s last blog ..What would you have said? =-.

[...] Pete Wilson was on fire this week. First he wrote about impression management (convicting!) and then character redemption. [...]

What amazes me about the whole Tiger and Edwards fiasco is that most people pointing fingers are probably doing the EXACT same thing. It’s almost like a defense mechanism–”Ewww look at what THEY did!! That’s right…look at them…turn your head from me…”

This is not to discount what Tiger and Edwards have done…but the truth is…who is out there that has not done some kind of wrong?

That’s why the older I get…the more convinced I become: Christ is the only hope for this world!

This might be hard to believe Adriana but I don’t believe that God could love you anymore or any less than he does in this very moment.

If you get a chance read Luke 15.

Lately I’ve given up on myself and on believing God can rescue me.
It’s comforting to know that no matter how far I feel like I’ve gone astray, there’s nowhere God’s love won’t find me.

I learned my lesson with Tiger. I definitely bashed him early on and realized how much of a hypocrite I was being. There is only one judge. God. We are called to provide hope in desperate situations. .-= John Alexander´s last blog ..It’s a LOVE HAITI thing. =-.
