It was 29 years ago today that I somehow managed to convince a beautiful blind lady to marry me! Through all the trials life has put us through, and it’s been more than a few. GOD has kept us together. She is my soulmate. FAAB

Well it only took me about 3 months and two surgeries and countless days and hours in bed to get this Dutchman finished up.
Feels good to accomplish something in my shop. I’m tired but it felt good. Thanks for the unbelievable amount of prayers sent to the father for me.
Knife is 154cm blade and back spring. 410 stainless mill relieved liners. Pinned shield. Dyed stag jigged bone.
Will be residing in my pocket for the time being.

Been a while since I’ve posted anything and I apologize. Still recovering from surgery and it’s been slower than I thought. But I’m on the mend.
Actually got into the shop today for the first time in a few months. Felt good but a little bit made me feel whuuped! But God is good. And I’m coming back. Thanks for all the prayers.

Update. On my last post asking for prayer, I guess I was way too vague about what was wrong. It’s not cancer. I am getting the trophy for the largest prostate they have seen. In the surgeons words he ripped me to shreds trying to get it done. It did not work. I have been going through a lot of pain but will be going to a specialist next Wednesday march 25 to Christ Hospital to hopefully put this to rest. It’s been quite the nightmare. My benefits will run out and I will have no coverage on April first. Not looking forward to that either. But I serve a mighty GOD! Prayers for the surgeon and his team and my family would be greatly appreciated. And to the buzzards circling thinking they will get my shop, I aint dead yet boys!

I don’t do this often but I need to ask for a little prayer. Last Monday I had surgery that didn’t go well. I’m going to have to have something way more intensive and invasive. Comes with getting old I guess. Thanks guys.
God Bless!
Fare Thee Well
