See this content in the original post

In this episode of the podcast Tony shares 4 words that he never thought he'd ever say in his entire life:

I'm a divorced man.

Tony and Sheri were married on September 17th, 1983, and they were divorced on July 20th, 2023.

That means they were married for 39 years, 10 months, and 3 days, or said another way, they were married for just 59 days short of 40 years.

On the day Tony recorded this episode of the podcast he had been a divorced man for 12 days.

In this heartfelt episode Tony shares several important reflections from the very difficult journey through the most painful and traumatic days of his entire life.

In addition he reflects upon the hope of the gospel, and the reality that in the economy of God's Kingdom, life comes out of death.

What do we do when life beats us up?

What do we do when profoundly diffiuclt things happen in our lives that we cannot change?

 

“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a seed falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.”  John 12:24

 

5 Those who cry as they plant their crops
    will sing with joy when they gather them in.
6 Those who go out weeping
    as they carry seeds to plant
will come back singing with joy.
    They will bring the new crop back with them.  Psalm 126:5-6
