Through the Years

This is no ordinary love story.

The author meets and marries his best friend and the love of his life. Through the years they go through just about everything and as they approach their fiftieth wedding anniversary they stand battle-tested, all the better for the storms and face the future with their faith in God intact, holding hands and enjoying the company of one another now more than ever. This is a match made in heaven and walked out together down here on earth. They can't imagine anything they've missed.

Fatherless and unbelievably directionless, Doug grew up with far more questions than answers about life. While attending high school he joined the hippie movement and imbibed and ingested every substance he could find to drown out his loneliness, anger, and rage.

In the autumn of 1972, while utterly inebriated, he plowed a friend’s vehicle into a tree that fractured his pelvis and landed him in the hospital. After reading a Four Spiritual Laws tract, he was convicted of the sins of his lifestyle and asked Jesus Christ to his Lord and Savior.

Upon graduation from Presque Isle High School, he felt a calling to further his education at a Bible school where he would meet and marry the love of his life. On January 8, 1977, Doug and Tisha Liquori tied the knot.

Doug earned his bachelor’s degree in theological studies from Faith Bible College International, (formerly FST) in Charleston, Maine.

Over the years, this couple have been involved in a variety of church and church-based ministries while working full time. Doug recently retired from over forty years in the trucking industry and is now employed at The Home Depot in Neptune, New Jersey as a sales associate.

Doug and Tisha have one daughter and four grandchildren.
