You cannot rope anything with a head shaped like a funnel. The rope just slips off. With no better idea forthcoming from my audience, I slipped the lariat around the pig's head, tied off his back legs, and began dragging 250 pounds of angry pork backward. What family can pass up the spiritual power, binding ties, and just plain fun of hearing stories that involve their own family members? As collectors of inspirational stories and events, the Nelsons one day thought to write about some of their own experiences for their children and grandchildren. What resulted was a short chronicle of the growth they have experienced within the marriage covenant. These true accounts document the growth that can only come from years of commitment to each other and the honesty of applying God's words in everyday living. As you read these entertaining accounts from the Nelsons, you will remember events within your own life that have enriched your beliefs and helped you become a better you. You may find yourself inspired to record those moments of enlightenment for your children or extended family to keep and cherish. How will they know who you are inside unless you tell the stories yourself?
