My wife, Betty Arnold, had the blessed privilege of
attending the "Women of the Word" Luncheon that was held here in Tampa
this month. She is pictured here with Lauren Dungy, who was the featured
speaker. She is the wife of Coach Tony Dungy of NFL fame.
Betty was honored to give the closing prayer. I
believe when Godly women can come together and pray for their families,
we could see a great change in our homes, churches, and our nation.
Pictured below is Barb Yoder who is General Manager of WTBN here in
Tampa. I am on two of their stations twice a day (five days a week) with
a listening potential of 3-5 million people.
When I married Betty, she was the prettiest little
Georgia peach I had ever seen. Well, after 53 years (as you can see) she
still is a Georgia peach. This is what she wore on Resurrection Sunday.
These three ladies accompanied Betty and truly
enjoyed this special event. Mrs. Leah Lusan,
Mrs. Nancy Polson, and Mrs. Sheila Taylor.
Profound moment....
We have been learning about the Resurrection of
Christ and Easter
traditions all week..I don't feel the need to sugar coat things for my
kids or keep things from them, so when a picture came up from the
Passion
of the Christ movie (a graphic one), they wanted to see it and study
it. I explained that this was a movie with makeup, but they were
portraying
what the events probably looked like in real life.. I began to cry...
no.. weep at the image, because well.. who wouldn't when you are looking
at and explaining it to her young children? But then Jayce turned to me
and smiled and said, "Mom it's ok... he did this for you. He traded his
life for ours... its a good thing so don't cry." WOW-- when your child
can
comfort you by throwing the word of God back at you, it is truly an
AMAZING feeling. I finally feel like I am doing something right. Thank
you Lord for that moment and for trading your life for mine.
