No secret. Maybe we are just lucky but both of us have a very strong loyalty to keeping promises. It is no secret that we also share a strong Christian faith that has helped us through the tough times such as long war time separation, having a child go down the drug path etc etc. Plus I have always enjoyed bucking the trends.
