How deep is the ocean?

Lisa and I were standing looking at the ocean today, and it made me think about the vastness of our world and how inconsequential we really are in the big scheme of things. Right now everything feels so important and overwhelming, but looking at the big picture, we're really just riding the crest of a single wave on the ocean of life. I don't mean to get too sappy, but we're only on this earth for the blink of an eye. All we can hope for is that in that brief time we live long enough to make a difference in someone's life.
This may be my last post for a while. At least one that comes directly from me. We have court at 9:30 in the morning and I will likely be taken into custody to start serving whatever time I'm given. I am so grateful to my wife Lisa for all she has done for me the last 10 years. She is so much more than I deserve. Please pray for her.

I'm also thankful for my family and Lisa's family for standing by us. I am in awe of their love and support. I can't think of where we would be without people like Dr. Donna Peaslee, Dr. Mike Adams, Steve Nobel, Pastor Ricky Mill and so many others in our group of friends who have helped us in our recovery and helped us find ourselves and our mission.

I pray that we have helped someone to find a way out of their addiction, to help decrease the demand for child pornography and to help raise awareness of the impact even mainstream pornography has on individuals and families.

And none of this would be possible without the grace of God. His love and grace are deeper than any ocean.

God bless,
David
