32 Years!!!!

Paul and Deb – 32 Years

On June 17, 1982 Paul came to the Bagley house selling encyclopedia Britannica!!! Just fresh from the outback! Buffalo Shooting, Horse Breaking and a host of outback work and just off drugs.
 Paul didn’t know what was ahead of him but GOD did and GOD had a plan! Paul began selling Encyclopedias and sold to a family who didn’t really need them or want them and in the times that followed He got to meet Jesus and gave his heart and life to the One who does not have an origin or beginning, but yet died for us!!

He met Debbie during this time also and began to tutor her in Math’s and Biology and “fell in love” with the girl that
“Grew up in the Jungle”
A tremendous romance began and God set fires in the hearts of these 2 young people for each other!
We were married on August 25, 1984 and O what a life it has been for Debbie and I. It has been “Mainly Good” times with a few rough patches mixed in but God has grown our love beyond our wildest dreams as we have sought to serve and follow Him.

Debbie --- you have stuck it out with me and I love you!! And this morning I wanted to share these memories with those who love us, pray for us and partner with us in Our Great God’s work.

Ps. Debbie does not know that I have written this letter about us  --- But she will see it in her in box when she wakes.
