For example, ancient prophets saw the discoverer Columbus and that the first settlers and founders willfully received the land and nation under covenant;
that George Washington’s scripture of choice was an ancient prophecy about the gospel destiny of America, and knew the many battlefield miracles he witnessed were connected to a covenant with the Almighty;
that Thomas Jefferson testified that the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution profoundly reflect and codify the American Covenant;
and how Abraham Lincoln fulfilled some of the greatest prophecies related to God’s kingdom on earth.

I love this girl of mine! She is my best friend, my partner, my eternal companion, the mother of my children, my heart, my mind, my love, my life, forever my eternity!
When I was almost twenty five, I was lonely and writing in my journal one night after I had prayed to my Heavenly Father and letting Him know that I had dated a lot, kept my eyes open, went to church, dances, concerts, events, and had really tried to find that special one who I would marry and would live with me eternally.
Well, one week later, I met Suzanne. My journal reads, “Tonight I met a ‘real girl’!” Yes, Suzanne swept me off of my feet and we dated for about six months, the best 6 months of my life. I was then going on a world concert tour with my family and I wanted her to go with me. I didn’t know if we would ever be able to go around the world again and I knew I couldn’t taker her as a girl friend because it wouldn’t ‘look right’! But, I knew that she was the one for me and that I loved her . . . so I asked her to marry me!
After she fasted and prayed about it, she humbled me by saying yes! I promised her to be true and faithful and to take good care of her and that we would marry for time and for all eternity in a Temple of the Lord. She was heaven sent and has blessed both of our lives with eight wonderful sons.
As a song writer, I wrote several songs about Suzanne, or at least with her in mind. Some songs were written before I knew her but as I would write, I would picture what I thought she would look like in my mind and expressed how I felt. A few songs were:
“Girl”. ”That’s My Girl, ”True Love”, ”You’re Gonna Get Me To Heaven”, “Whose Gonna Get Suzanne”, ”Darlin”, “Same Girl”, “Carrie”, “Catch Me Baby”, “Do You Want Me”, “It’s You Babe”, ”You’re Mine”, “Love Me” , ”Sho’ Would Be Nice”, ”Tears On My Pillow”, ”Trust My Love”, ”We Can Make It Together”, “What Could ItBe”, “Big Al, His Gal, and His Pals”, for a few.
Besides being my wife and a wonderful women, Suzanne is my better half, a mother, companion, housekeeper, cook, shopper, nurse, councilor, chauffeur, baby sitter, hand holder, book keeper, psychologist, designer, seamstress, janitor, secretary, advisor, motivator, security guard, shopper, consultant, photographer, teacher, relief society president, temple worker, back scratcher, my right hand, watchful eye, listening ear, a feel bad hugger, nutritionist, grocery shopper, care giver, story teller, scripture quoter, financial accountant , dancer, piano player, singer, violinist, travel booker, good looker, great kisser, computer wiz, not in show biz, and most importantly . . . . she is the one that I love!
With all that she does, I really could not afford her but, I can’t afford to ever lose her, so I’m just gonna mind my business, work hard and be good! :-)
