Just thought I’d write a quick word of appreciation for my best friend and wife, Shelly, and for our good friends Anthony and Monique Ramos.

Thank You Lord for the one You gave me as a life-long companion. Your word says that there came a time when it was NOT GOOD for man to be alone, so you made Him a wife, the one person to help him in life. Thank You Lord for my beautiful friend and perfect companion. (check out Genesis 2:18, 21-25; Malachi 2:14).

And then there’s Anthony & Monique. We love this family (and what a family it is – 8 children!). They were saved by Christ from a very destructive lifestyle (that’s the case for everyone who gets saved), and we witnessed their hunger for God and growth as Christians in such a beautiful way. They attended Calvary Chapel El Monte for almost 2 decades, and even though they’ve moved far away, certain things never move; every time we see them, there’s a rediscovery of a bond beyond friendship, there’s no doubt…they’ve become family.

Proverbs 18:24 (NKJV) “A man who has friends must himself be friendly, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.”
