PTL!

Has it really been over a year since my last post?
Sadly, yes. Especially sad in light of the fact that my last post promised much more frequent updates.

Epic Fail.
So much has taken place over the last year, the full content of which demands many dissertations. To review, I've dedicated my life to Christ and have witnessed the power of sanctification in my own life; resultingly, I've felt peace, contentment, and real joy for the first time. My attitudes and outlooks have shifted 180 degress out of phase from where they once were- a wholesale change has been and is continuing to take place.
Hand in hand with this has been the blossoming of my love for Kristin; the beginning of our dating relationship, our courtship, and now our marriage only five days ago! There's no one in all the world I love so much as her- she truly is my counterpart, the note ringing in harmony to the bassline of my life. My life would in no way be what it is without her. I could pontificate for page after page attempting to elaborate on the depths of my love for her, but I would only fail, and fail miserably to capture the profundity of the feeling.
And now she's my wife.
Rest assured this forum will open its doors once more, and my voice will be heard again. Only this time Christ will be working in me, both in the willing and the doing of His pleasure. Praise the Lord for everything He has done thus far, and I know He will continue the good work He began in me!

Yours in love,
Ian Olson (now Mr. Olson)

I know I am a complete stranger to you, but congratulations in your walk with Christ. I have recently started my own in depth personal relationship and it was hard at first the devil attacked me in ways I didn't know were possible to test my faith. The peace and Joy you feel from keeping the Faith make the Journey worth the Fight in every way. I hope you and your wife continue to be blessed with God's plans for your marriage.
Take Care and thank you from one Christian to another.- Haley
