"Today, I looked at my beautiful wife Chelsea and thought to myself, "If she had the chance to do it all over again, would she still marry me?" I hope so. When I first met Chelsea, she was intoxicatingly lovely (still is). She captured my heart, my imagination, and all my affection. I was only 19 then, but I had enough sense to know to set the hook and ask her to marry me quickly, or someone else would. On our marriage day, I knew that when I walked away from the altar, I received a better half than she did. She married a young man who needed lots of maturing in grace. Fortunately, she could see God at work in my life. God saw my great need and had mercy on me. Jesus came to me when I wasn't looking for Him, looked upon me when I was looking everywhere else, and with a power and love that only He could employ, began to conquer my selfishness, stubbornness, and sinfulness, turning my heart to Jesus. Maybe on our anniversary I'll ask Chelsea that question, but until then, I'll keep working on becoming the man she'd never want to replace."
