When I Became a Man

“When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.” — 1 Cor 13:11

I worked so hard this past year—sometimes frantically—to get my proverbial “house in order,” as I waited for an answer from Danica’s father to take her hand in marriage. And now, as this reality has arrived (even if still a few short months away), the responsibility is overwhelming.

I need God in my life like never before, and isn’t it exciting to know that those who call upon Him, He will answer.

Engagement Announcement

Pastor Rick today at church announced our engagement. “On a personal matter, I’d like announce that my daughter Danica is engaged to Bruce Ryan Dunphey.” He looked at me, grinned, and said, “…the long awaited…”

Everyone clapped; it was fun.
