For My Beloved Amy

About 15 minutes from Mother's Day (yes, I should be in bed), I wanted to write a few words to express my love and devotion for my wonderful wife, Amy.  Many warned us that church planting was the hardest thing any couple could do.  They were right.  But it also has been one of the most glorious things to do.  It wouldn't be that way were it not for Amy Janelle.  She can juggle better than circus pros.  She shows her devotion to me daily.  She has the biggest, most merciful heart of any woman I have ever met.  But more than anything, I marvel at the way she cares for our kids.  I always knew she would excel with any children God would give us.  But she has even exceeded my expectations.  I love you, Amy.
