The card from my bride as we celebrate our 30th anniversary today reads:
Hold on to me, and I will hold on to you through anything and everything life brings our way.
Bring me your worries, and I’ll listen with my heart.
Tell me what you need, and I’ll do my best to give it to you.
Love me even when it isn’t easy, and I promise to do the same for you.
After all, isn’t that what love, true love, is all about?
Happy Anniversary
I am a truly blessed and lucky guy. Happy anniversary, my love.

Martin’s Mercurial Musings began when I started asking deeper questions related to my Christian faith. Matters of faith became confusing and I was baffled at the disparity of doctrines beliefs given that Christian work from the same “source material” (aka the Bible). How can there be so much variance as to what Christians believe? Or more importantly, where is the truth? That which I thought I knew and believed – well, I’m not so sure anymore.
Although born in OH, I grew up in Tucson AZ. After college, a job offer lured me to Eagan MN where I worked in process development at a semiconductor chip manufacturing facility over the next 40yrs. I’m now in the “Buick stage” of life (retired) and currently reside in FL. In no specific order, things which make life more enjoyable include coffee in the morning, making sawdust in the garage, roughhousing with the grandkids, playing various fretted instruments, participating in online chess tournaments, growing fresh tomatoes, and an occasional IPA.
In addition to my musings on Christian faith and Calvinistic doctrines, I also like to write about my experiences in the Coast Guard along with various news, political and social items of interest.
I’m truly delighted you’re here. Feel free to poke around and comment as you wish. I value the insight of others with a different perspective and welcome cordial discussions regarding any disagreements.

Martin's Mercurial Musings 
I gave that same card to my wife on our 50th anniversary. She died in 2008, and I have not been able to locate the card. I need to know if it is a Hallmark card, and if not Hallmark, can you tell me the name of the company that did print the card. I need to contact that company who owns the Copyrights, as I am in the process of composing some beautiful music for those beautiful heart felt words on that card. So that people of all ages, all over the world, can hear those priceless words at all the wedding recepitions that they attend.
I regret I don’t know where the card ended up – I know I didn’t throw it away. Still, I can’t tell you whether it was a Hallmark or who actually wrote the prose. My sympathies with regard to your wife’s death. Good luck with the music composition. Regards.
Thanks Bob – Appreciate your reply. When the music is created, I’ll post the availability on this web site. All Good Wishes to you and your family. Dick rent
