I very much enjoyed life with my life-long partner, Aneida, my wife. I am very proud of my children despite my shortcomings. God has told us, “‘. . . let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord who exercises lovingkindness, justice, and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things,’ declares the Lord” (Jer 9:24). I am His, I know Him, I understand Him, I am with Him–I hope you do or will do the same.
