Swift To Hear, Slow To Speak, Slow To Wrath

My wife Josephine is my best friend and the love of my life. Twenty-two years later, she is like a fine wine...just getting better with time!

How do we make it work? Well, truthfully, it's not us. It's God who we keep as the focal point of our home.

Whenever you married couples feel like you don't think you're going to make it, do one thing. Cling to God's word. Read it everyday! Try to put it into action everyday! You will be amazed. One verse I try to live out daily is:

"Therefore, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man does not work the righteousness of God." (James 1:19-20)

A Wise and Wonderful Man

I spent a number of years studying under a wise and wonderful man named Albert O. Geraldi. He is not only an awesome martial artist who taught me the arts, but he is an even better person who also taught me many life lessons.

I went online to buy martial arts weapons and found Tanbos...$9.50 to $130.00; Kamas...$14.99 to $375.00; and Sais...$31.99 - $65.99

But my time spent with Master Geraldi.... PRICELESS!

Man's Best Friend

It has been said that a dog is a man's best friend, but in actuality, we know that a man's best friend is his wife.

It has also been said that a dog and his or her owner oftentimes look alike.

Do you think that's true?

My Lady

Josephine, I found you!

"¹⁰An excellent wife, who can find?
For her worth is far above jewels.
¹¹The heart of her husband trusts in her,
And he will have no lack of gain.
¹²She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life...
²⁰She extends her hand to the poor,
And she stretches out her hands to the needy...
²⁵Strength and dignity are her clothing,
And she smiles at the future.
²⁶She opens her mouth in wisdom,
And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
²⁷She looks well to the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.
²⁸Her children rise up and bless her;
Her husband also, and he praises her, saying:
²⁹Many daughters have done nobly,
But you excel them all.
³⁰Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain,
But a woman who fears Jehovah, she shall be praised.
³¹Give her the product of her hands,
And let her works praise her in the gates."
(Proverbs 31:10-12, 20, 25-31)

An excellent wife, who can find? Me! Thank you, Jehovah!!
