It's incalculable the impact that one godly couple can have on generations to come.

And it was my desire, and I knew that it was Blair's desire.

And that though we came, we both came from broken homes, the Lord brought us together in his sovereignty so that we might leave a godly legacy.

This is Family Life Today.

So growing up in Finley, Ohio, this little town, I was always jealous of this one family, the Barrens.

Were you?

That's my family, she's sitting right there.

Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, they were known in our town as this really close-knit family.

Now, I knew it wasn't as great as we thought from the outside,

but I always was jealous of your dad.

Because, you know, he coached me and I knew your brothers. I played sports with your brothers.

And every time I was near your family, it felt full of joy, felt fun, a lot of laughter.

And you guys were addicted to sports, so that was awesome.

But I think a lot of people in that town felt that about the parents.

Why do you have tears? I know. It makes me teary just because I just lost both my parents.

And they did create that.

Like they were fun.

People wanted to be at our house, not so much because of us kids, but because my dad, people

would sit down and he would say, tell me your story.
