Greetings, folks.

Some of you know I've been seeing a lot of a certain lovely woman named Amy Thompson.

This past Saturday evening, as Amy and I were on the beach and the sun was setting, I professed my love to her and asked her to be my wife.

Thankfully, she said "Yes!"

Praise be to God for this thing He has worked. I have no idea why God has seen fit to bless me so abundantly. In times of abundance and in times of trouble and despair, God is to be praised.

So please praise Him with us, and glorify in Him for His goodness.

We have no date set yet, but we're hoping the big day will be this summer. More information as it becomes available.

Many thanks to those who have been praying for Amy and me; we appreciate your continued prayers as we take this next step in our relationship.

Soli Deo gloria!
