I have an Elephant in the room that I need to address. It was recently brought to my attention a concern over Mandi’s health due to the absence of her from my photos.  I can say that although she is fighting other immunity issues, she has beaten Cancer like I knew she would. She is in better health and has recovered from her chemo treatments as well as her hysterectomy.  

Unfortunately, our marriage, which was on shaky ground prior to a rash of sicknesses and passings(my Mom and her Dad), was not strong enough to survive the winter.  We officially separated in late August of 2018.

We both are dedicated to raising our shared children with all the love they deserve.  Although we are no longer under one household, our children are a priority in both of our lives.  Both Kaia and Emanuel have adjusted as well as can be expected, and look forward to both time at Mommy’s house and Daddy’s house.  We will both continue to keep God first in their lives and participate actively in pointing them back to their Heavenly Father. 

Many changes have taken place over the past year in both of our lives. I wish Mandi nothing but happiness and joy as she continues down her chosen path.  Given some time to reflect, I too have recalibrated my life to focus first and foremost on my faith, and then my children.   

So to recap, everyone is in relative good health. Kids are as happy as can be expected. (See the photo evidence).  Mandi has gone back to her maiden name, Coggon, if you are looking for her on social media.  I have begun a new path, new career, and new interest.  I will also be launching a new ministry tapping into my passion of ending homelessness. 

Asking for privacy and no comments publicly. You can always message me privately. I do ask that you continue to pray for Mandi’s health, our children, and future paths. 

I leave you with a quote from a song that has gotten me through these difficult past few months. 

“When I was Your foe, still Your love fought for me

You have been so, so good to me

When I felt no worth, You paid it all for me

You have been so, so kind to me

And oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God

Oh, it chases me down, fights 'til I'm found, leaves the ninety-nine

And I couldn't earn it, and I don't deserve it, still, You give Yourself away

Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God”

~Reckless Love
