“12 Years Meets Falsely Accused then it’s ‘A Full Moon and Fireflies’”

This is the first of the February “Love Story” series. In this episode we talk with Michael Pugh and Cheilla Stone about their past relational struggles including failed marriages and the scars that remain from those relationships.

Michael and Cheilla’s meeting was by chance, or really divine appointment. I tried to introduce them much quicker but God needed me to butt out and let Him work.

We learn a little about their personal stories but will dive deeper into those on later episodes with them. This episode is all about their love story.

You will hear them talk about how they were ready to never be married again, and thinking that maybe there wasn’t a right person for them.

They talk about the mistakes they made in the beginning and how they overcame them and got stronger in the process.

Their story is really inspiring and Michael even wrote a poem which is posted below.

I’ve know Michael since high school and he helps run Forgiven Felons. I met Cheilla when she contacted me on Facebook after serving 12 years and being released in January of 2020. I went in to speak with the Mike Barber Ministries and she heard speak about a women’s side of the ministry and felt compelled to contact me. She held onto that info for seven years and contacted me when she made parole.

Whether you’re single and looking or already married, this story will inspire you. Read the poem below but also check out some of the pics below.

“A Full Moon and Fireflies”

An evening spent with the one you love

Can be complimented well by nature’s touch

. There is nothing more beautiful than her eyes

So nature complimented them with a full moon and fireflies

. Each of them has a beauty of their part

But it was her eyes that captured my heart

. So nature wished to celebrate our love

So it sent a message staged above

. The full moon burned bright to display its part

Then the fireflies flew glowing in concert
