Posted by Gina McPhee on 01/30/2007, 15:28 I John 4:18 God’s love for us removes all fear. We can resolve our fears by focusing on His immeasurable love for us. "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear; because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love." |

Posted by Carolyn Matthews on 01/30/2007, 15:00 I wish you both all the happiness in the world. Love is a feeling and an action. Continue to Love and your relationship will grow. Relationships are a two way street compromising will go a long way. I'm a newlywed it's difficult at times but i wouldn't trade it for anything. There is a lot of ups and downs but the good always out numbers the bad. Stick it out and you will receive the best reward...eachother.Good luck Leigh Bowen and Amando. |

Posted by Kellie Cameron on 01/19/2007, 13:38 Leigh - he reminds me a lot of my husband. We've been married over 50 years and he's my best friend. We have 7 children - Kyle, Heidi, Bridget, Shauna, Ryan, Kiersten, and Trisha - and he's been the best dad. I hope you share the same happiness me and Shane have. God Speed |

Posted by Leigh Bowen on 01/17/2007, 11:48 To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world. I heard this poem one time and it is the perfect quote for my boyfriend amando & I. I met amando on November 12th and it just so happens to be my birthday. Our first date was just me talking away but amando sat there and just listened. That is just one of his greatest qualities. As well as him being romantic & loving to me. He treats me with respect. I am truly shown by him that I can be treated right. Amando has become my best friend and I am so lucky to have found him. I am so thankful that he has come into my life. Now going on 1 year amando is still that one person that means the world to me. 978-335-9921 |
