New beginnings
Patience is they key. I've come to learn that;
“Impatience is not only a mark of immaturity and unbelief, but it is a mark of fleshly living.”
Excerpt From: Wiersbe, Warren. “The Strategy of Satan.” Tyndale House Publishers, Inc., 2011-12-15. iBooks.
Blending two different lived together is never easy, but with perseverance, patience, and a few other key fruits it can be done.
The only differences we have is 17 years. Yes it makes a relationship difficult, and many times I forget that there is that age gap between us.
On the plus side,we've almost reached one year, and it has been difficult and rough. Worth every moment.
A Better Beginning
Above photo was taken by me. Below is one from Wikipedia to show full building, and some history of it from an additional source credited below.
The Knights of Pythias Temple is an historic Knights of Pythias building located at 2551 Elm Street in the Deep Ellum neighborhood of Dallas, Texas. Also known as the Union Bankers Building for a later owner, it was built in 1915 by architect William Sidney Pittman. It was the first major commercial structure in Dallas built for African Americans, by African Americans, and with African American money. From 1916 to 1939 it served as the social, professional and cultural center of the center of the city's African-American community. In 1959 the building was purchased by the Union Bankers Insurance Company, who turned it into a standard office building. On October 23, 1989, the structure became a Dallas Landmark.
Another fun fact:
The land purchased for the temple was located at the intersection of Elm and Good streets in Deep Ellum, just south of the Texas and Pacific Rail line. Deep Ellum was originally settled by former slaves as a “Freedmen’s Town” (with houses and a commercial center), and it grew to become an important center of the African-American community where they could freely shop, dine, and enjoy music in the many clubs.

It will be interesting what someone will do with this building with the up and coming neighborhood.
