I meet the weirdest people during my travels. It always surprises me how they come into my life. It's like God sends them but on the other hand it's so random. I don't believe in coincidences so the most high must work them into my path. I don't remember how or what we started talking about. Mostly he just started telling me about running whore houses and life. It would be important to say during this time.the only thing I could think about is the saying opposites attract.he met his wife while he was still running the street. She loved Christ and he never considered church. I also want to say this is another perfect example of life and marriage not being a fairy tale. He loved her but had to make choices.give up his life of sex, money and other sins I don't want to mention. Or lose her to another man or worse lose himself in an already dwindling lifestyle. Now this would be the point where I would love to say that he became a pastor. It's not he was Frank. He gave it all up for what his heart told him. He accepted Christ along with the struggle.that struggle being accepting his new life. Which came with ups and downs but the love persevered. I've always been told the right woman can change your world.I've never believed it until it happened to me.I wasn't on an extreme like Frank but I was deep enough in the world.
Frank also told me about the struggles of marriage.it seems funny taking advice from a pimp.yet at the same time not really since he's had more life experience then me. Also a longer marriage then most. On that I have to speak on his dedication.or at least the dedication every person should have to the ones they love. In over twenty years of marriage they spilt once.and I quote "I left my wife once and I'll never do it again!". Words that stuck with me. I come to see now that distance grows the heart fonder. With time you will see all the rights and wrongs you are making in life with just a little distance. Some times it can be UN healthy but other times.it's just what you need. Don't turn a time apart into a time to indulge yourself in your vices.rather find a way to build on your heart and where you and your life can go.if a pimp named Frank can do it so could you.love yourself and love the one your with cause that person might just get up and split.
