This year’s end will mark 23 years of marriage. Which means I’ve been with Patrick longer than I’ve been without him. In the spirit of that, would you mind if I listed 23 reasons why I love this man? (Well, even if you don’t let me, I’m doing it anyway.)
- He makes me laugh laugh laugh. His dry sense of humor truly has me giggling every single day.
- He is theologically astute. He thinks deeply about the Bible, uncovering things about it that surprise and bless me.
- He is a friend to animals, so much so that we’ve nicknamed him Saint Francis.
- He is passionate about church planting, even when he’s not doing it. He thinks of ways to help church planters around the world.
