Oct 9th, is the 22nd anniversary of our marriage. In those years we have been blessed with five wonderful children and an abundance of friends and both personal and professional accomplishments. But also during those 22 years, the one that should have received my main focus did not. Namely my wife, Bernadette .

She has been patient, loving and tolerant of my work, public life and private life. She has prayed for me, supported me, allowed me, cried for me, and believed in me. For 22 years, she has given and not received. It’s now time to return the favor.

It is my endeavor to now shift focus to her. To try and repay her for those years of not being the best husband and man. I want the next 22 plus years (God willing) to be different. I want to make it a daily affirmation to place her first in all that I do and to live a marriage that is as God intended it to be: Two that become One!

To do this I am closing down TKF as well as other civic activities. I’ve enjoyed it immensely and Bernadette has supported it greatly. But two hours a day on the Internet for five years in addition to all the other civic activities is nothing more than time away from her.

Many of us take hours upon hours to keep informed and up to date. The Internet and other social networking activities certainly has many advantages. But it is also an electronic sin sent forth to man. Used in moderation or conservatively it is a blessing. Used liberally it is all consuming and a parasite into our lives. What if I took those two hours to help her? Pray with her? Just be with her?

I look forward to continue to hear from you as always and thanks for your friendship. I also look forward to looking into the eyes of my wife and seeing the gift that God has given me. Even if it took 22 years to truly unwrap!

Stay safe my brothers and sisters. And thanks again for calling me friend!
