This morning, God called Black Dog home to be with Him. We are sad, but we are so thankful that we had 12 years with her... and that we were able to shower her with love in her last 15 minutes here with us. The last words she heard were words of love. We'll never be able to fill the void created by her passing, but we rest in the truth that God's plan is perfect. Twelve years ago, we cried over the loss of Caseydog, but when we found Vicki, we knew that Casey knew it was time to go home so that Vicki could come live with us. God called Vicki home in His time, knowing there are a couple of dogs out there who need to win the dog lottery and come fill the silence here. We thank Him and praise Him for all the wonderful memories we have of Black Dog... her smile, her bark, the way she sat at the closet door waiting (sometimes indignantly) for a bone, the wag of her tail, riding in the back of the truck with Steven, waking us up, cheering us up when we were sad, begging, checking on Steven in the morning, exploring all the wonderful smells in the meadow, sitting at our feet...always.
Give your marriage a tune up!
Let us tell you all about Weekend to Remember! We've been twice- the first time was in 2005, two months after we divorced on our 14th wedding anniversary... God placed that conference in our path to give us the tools to tear down the walls of isolation we'd unknowingly built in our marriage. He used that conference to restore our relationship, our marriage and our lives.
We made a commitment to go to the conference every year or so and attended again in 2007. God's Word is alive, and we came away learning so much more about how God designed marriage, how He created us for each other and how He uses what we perceive as weaknesses to strengthen each other and grow in Him.
The Weekend to Remember is a great multipurpose tool- it is a how to be married guide for engaged and newly married couples, a restoration tool for broken marriages, a maintenance tool for great marriages and a springboard to the next level for good marriages. The presenters are so human, so easy to relate to, so easy to listen to and learn from.
After we attended the conference last fall, God pressed on our hearts to volunteer for FamilyLife, so we are working at the Raleigh weekend this year. Scott is a group coach and I'm on the prayer team. We'll be there at the conference, serving in whatever way God needs us to serve.
CALL 1-800-358-6329 to register for the weekend so you can use our group code to get an $80 discount on the conference registration, you have to register over the phone in order to get the group rate. Our group code is 16418. The group rate is $178/couple.
