A Confluence of Life.....

(Let us assume that it is 30 minutes from now and that today is tommorrow - August 6, 2008)

One score and fourteen years ago our Father, which art in heaven, saw fit to breathe His life into a little baby girl. Consequently, Robert Gillespie James and Linda Upshaw James begat Adrian Leigh and the world has never been the same.

>>>>>>>>>REWIND>>>>>>>>> to the beginning of time.....on the sixth day. God created man from the dust of the earth and said, "It is not good that man should be alone, I shall make a suitable partner for him." Thus God took a rib from the man and formed a woman.

>>>>>>>>>>FAST FORWARD>>>>>>>> to the ninth day of the tenth month in the year of our Lord nineteen-hundred and ninety-six. One will witness sovereignty and salvation; for that is the day that this man found his lost rib. (Forgive me and heaven help me if I am wrong). October 9th, 1996 was our (Adrian and Caleb's) first date. Our lives then converged and on September 22, 2001 our lives merged through Holy Matrimony.

Many people scoff at the idea of a sovereign God, an omnipotent universal being that reigns supreme throughout the heavens and earth. They argue that there is no proof and disguise the miraculous with explanations of random chance and happenstance. Ah, but if ever there could be a case made for the existence of the great "I AM" and His miraculous ways, it could be found in the marriage of Adrian and Caleb Seney. There are only two answers that suffice in the explanation of how and why Adrian would love and marry a ragamuffin such as I.

1. She is INSANE!
or
2. She is a miraculous gift from God who somehow is blinded to my glaring defects and can only see the best and brightest that lies deep with in me.

You can believe whatever you choose! I choose answer #2, and even an old hillbilly like me knows the only proper way to accept a gift is to do so with GRATITUDE!

Happy Birthday Adrian!!!!! I am grateful to God that he saw fit to let me do this thing called LIFE with you and I will spend the rest of my days trying to live it!
