College President Who Promised His Wife to Take Care of Her

A preacher in South Carolina wanted nothing more out of life than to run a Bible college. All his life, he worked for the position and eventually attained it. As he fulfilled his life’s dream and vocation, Alzheimer’s disease struck his wife. Her health degenerated to the point where he could not possibly take care of her and work his full-time job. The preacher came to a decision – to give up his position as president of the Bible college. Some of his friends could not understand and said, “What are you doing? Your wife doesn’t even know who you are!” The man answered, “She might not know who I am, but I know who she is. She’s the woman I made a promise to until death do us part.” (Lou Nicholes - Missionary/Author).
