Steve & Becky have been together since High School and were married a few years after graduation. They have four amazing kids and 4 equally amazing grand-kids.
Steve's prayer is to encourage men in their everyday lives, give them hope and direction to be Godly men, better husbands and better fathers.
In high school, my mom used to listen to a 10 minute devotional before the bus came. If we heard Robert Cook saying, "Walk with the king today and be a blessing." we knew we were running late.
