Spending Time With My Lovely Wife Rebecca.


I just got a twenty-dollar gift certificate from my father and step-mother to have breakfast at Getty Street Grill and I am taking Rebecca there for breakfast this morning and we can spend quality time together as God has intended it to be. And as usual I will let her do the talking and I will do the listening and let her talk about what her dreams and desires are; but God will not be left out of this conversation either, every word spoken at the restaurant will be encouraging and the complaints will be left out in the cold.
