And they said it wouldn’t last . . .
I want to take this moment to publicly thank the Lord Jesus for the privilege of having been married 24 years tomorrow to the best man I know, Jeff Mix.
September 8, 1984, was the start of our Christian, egalitarian, loving, passionate, sometimes rough, more often smooth, partnership — and I’d marry him all over again in an instant. My husband is a Godly man who lovingly walks with the Lord, who lovingly walks alongside me, and who is the kind of father every woman would want for her children, teaching them to walk in the way of Peace. Jesus Christ is the “head” of each of us and of our marriage. We’ve never had a problem with submission, because we love each other; nor have we had problems with trying to figure out a “chain of command,” because gender hierarchy is of the curse, and we walk as free children of God, committed to mutuality, growth, and service. I’m not always easy to live with — imagine that! — and he’s not perfect, either, but I count every hour I’m with him a great gift from our loving God, and I pray we have many, many more years together.
I love him!
congratulations – next time i’m up your way i wanna spend time with you both!!!

And you will, my friend! Dinner and drinks on us, perhaps even with cake.
