In Spite of Us: A Love Story about Second Chances
Hereare a few"take-a ways" from our story...
God is clearly the hero of the story. We are merely bit players (promising comedic relief) in the grand divine scope.
God loves us here and now and He has incomprehensible patience and persistence in the pursuit of our hearts.
Most of what we treasure and cling to in this life is balderdash.
The characters in this story are familiar, living next door, seated at your holidaydinner table or maybe, in your mirror.
Seeking God is addictive in the best ...

In the early 1990s, Central Washington University bounced with fresh skin, high hopes, gel-spiked hair, and me. At least that’s how it felt.
