I found him sitting in the corner at the Tyndall AFB NCO club and got him to ask me to dance. We were married 15 months later. That was in 1981. We're still going strong.

Thanks for askin'!!!

"Think fairy tale with a tragic ending"

Thanks for putting it that way. We met at a party. Twenty one years of wedded bliss, then she was taken away just before 9/11. A cold, empty world since.

That's the way of it, sometimes.

I met the love of my life because I bought a book called "Portals to Hell."

It was a book about US Civil War pow camps. I had an ancestor who was in Camp Douglas and was very interested in the subject. I started a webpage for people also interested in this, as well as a mailing list. One of the first people to pass on information to me for that webpage was my hubby to be, who lived 2000 miles away from me. He also had an ancestor in a Union POW camp - his at Point Lookout.

We began talking about history and other things and after awhile, one thing led to another, we got married, and now I live in the northwest instead of the South.

But if that book hadn't been written, and our ancestors hadn't have had to go through their own individual horrid experiences as POWs, we would have never met.

An amazing chain of events, when you think about it.

How To Be Happy

READ: Psalm 146

Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help. —Psalm 146:5

Everyone wants to be happy. But many fail in their quest to find that elusive prize because they are looking in the wrong places.

Proverbs 16:20 tells us, “Whoever trusts in the Lord, happy is he.” And Psalm 146:5 indicates that happiness comes to those who find their help and hope in God.

The foundation for happiness is a proper relationship with the Lord. But to fully experience that happiness, we must build on that foundation in practical ways. I found this list of Ten Rules for Happier Living:

  1. Give something away.
  2. Do a kindness.
  3. Give thanks always.
  4. Work with vim and vigor.
  5. Visit the elderly and learn from their experience.
  6. Look intently into the face of a baby and marvel.
  7. Laugh often—it’s life’s lubricant.
  8. Pray to know God’s way.
  9. Plan as though you will live forever—you will.
  10. Live as though today is your last day on earth.

These are excellent ideas for living a happy life. Undergird each of these rules with praise, and your happiness will be complete. “Praise the Lord, O my soul! While I live I will praise the Lord” (Ps. 146:1-2)

Happiness is to know the Savior,
Living a life within His favor,
Having a change in my behavior,
Happiness is the Lord.  —Stanphill

Trusting and obeying the Lord brings true happiness.

Met the love of my life, here on FR.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out for us. That said, he will always be the love of my life, until I take my last breath.

Life goes on, and I have to move on. But he will always be "the one". And I will always be grateful to FR for leading me to him.
