Passion. The very word sparks a movement in the heart of our sexuality. However, Webster has quite a few definitions of this word. The one I like the most is ‘A person toward whom one feels strong love. The object of such fondness or desire.’ I have counseled many couples in my career and I have often wondered what in the world keeps these people together?! Many times in the face of strong opposing odds, a couple will triumph and their love grows to a bond that no man or anything of this world could ever break. I have often be passionate about my career, building houses or buildings that make people happy and preaching God’s word. However, I never really understood what passion was all about until my sweet Julie came into my life. Now don’t get your mind in the gutter and as my wonderful mother-in-law is reading this entry, don’t think I am going to become X rated in describing Julie. With that said, I can truly say that I have found the passion of my life. We have had our troubles and with all the negative influences that have infiltrated our life together it would have been easy for both of us to throw our hands up and walk away. Why didn’t we? Passion. Sure, we share a love that I am sure no other couple has ever had. Of course I am biased but I know how I feel. Each time I touch her hand the passion grows more intense. I listen to her sleeping and as we lay together there is no other word better than passion to describe it. When we are walking, her sweet little hand extends out to grasp mine and my heart skips a beat. The way she looked at me as we were exchanging our wedding vows. That is the passion that has become the glue of our love for each other. Some may say I am sappy as I write this but I would say your jealousy comes into play. I spent many years trying to define this powerful word in my own way but God stepped in and placed His definition deep in my heart.

Passion. It is not X rated but a powerful force that few people find but everyone searches for. As for us, we no longer have to look. Passion found us.

Have a great night.  Tony
