Of Noble Purpose....


If you want to know about Pearce....just ask his wife...

Of Noble Purpose~  
It made sense as I considered the start of this blog journey to introduce myself and make known my background, history, and experiences as it may provide a context for the future.  In pursuing this effort, It seems the best and reasonable goal would be to introduce my wife, Heather Lebel Beissinger as no other person so faithfully loves, supports, and champions my life and it’s endeavors. She is indeed of noble purpose and a great prize and reward to be held.  She agreed to a life with me June 13, 2001 shortly after we finished graduate school and had been dating for an entire 2 weeks.  Our foundation in Christ and trust in the sovereign will and grace of our holy Father provided an amazing  confidence to move forward.  Our adventures together have taken us to the midwest ( Peoria, IL) where we learned the true meaning of flat, that caterpillars don’t always have legs- they sometimes rumble along on skids, and church and bowling are the only 2 necessary elements of life.....
Moving back east, we trekked to the homeland of New England and setup shop at Dartmouth building a home, making babies and enjoying the blessings of life that God has given us.  Climbing mountains, scrubbing floors or being up all night with sick patients, my wife continues to encourage me in overcoming each leg of a journey. Her gentle love strongly steers me to overcome and conquer the demands of life.  Despite my resistance and pride, she is amazingly  patient with me to accomplish our mutual goal of glorifying God.  Why would I make my first real entry on a personal blog to talk about someone else, to talk about my wife....well, I guess you could throw out a lot of reasons...like behind every good man is an awesome woman or however that phrase goes....that would imply that I am good and not wanting to make implications, I can only say that I have seen God do amazing things in my life since I began my walk with him over 10 years ago.  The richness of knowing him, having hope in His character, His plans, His will...and seeing Him actively work in my heart to make me like Him despite my best efforts has been greatly assisted by his provision of a fantastic wife  My blog is about my life...about me, Pearce.....I guess I can say I could not escape the idea of beginning this endeavor without first assigning some credit to Heather.  In the absence of her, there would be far less to blog, far less to account for, recognize, ponder, grow...she is my number one fan, and I am hers...
She is and has always been of noble purpose. I thank God for her as she is worth far more than the short sighted words of my blog could ever describe...
