Thanks T. I would not describe myself as incredible but incredibly blessed. We have been married 37-1/2 years. From the beginning we have sought to center our marriage and family on G-d and Yeshua. (Jesus)
I had 2 male role models growing up. My dad and a bro-in-law. Neither was a good role model. But you cannot live your life by saying “…

I had 2 male role models growing up. My dad and a bro-in-law. Neither was a good role model. But you cannot live your life by saying “I am not going to be like them.” You have to decide who you want to be like.
So I have tried to live my life the way G-d wants me to. Loving those whom the world might not see as lovable. Embracing those who are seemingly unembraceable. Loving G-d more than my wife or my own life. And I love her a lot.
It isn’t easy. I have made plenty of mistakes. It is still an effort to love my wife & kids the way G-d does. But he rewards the efforts. And since I know I am not better than them it is easy to love them for who they are.
2 last things-From the beginning of my time with HM, I chose the pseudonym Ben. I did not know anyone, and I did not want to use my real name. Plus we had a similar platform at work at the time that used my real name -David (Weiss)- so I chose something different. Ben is the Hebrew word for son. I seek to live as a son of G-d. Also, I am a Messianic Jew. In the Jewish tradition we use a - in place of an O in G-d’s name. That is the reason for that spelling.
