South Bend couple visits Fort Wayne for anniversary suprises and fun

FORT WAYNE—While some celebrated by barbecuing with family and friends, watching an NBA game on television or following the world famous Indianapolis 500, Memorial Day weekend took on an extra special glow of love for a South Bend couple visiting the Summit City.

On May 27, Lee and Amy Smith celebrated their 23rd Wedding Anniversary. Married May 27, 1994 in South Bend, the beaming couple credits their strong faith in Jehovah as the foundation that has kept them a loving couple and tight-knit family throughout their marriage. Members of the Miami Trails Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses for the past 17 years, Lee said, like many couples, he and Amy had early challenges in marriage but their shared faith put them on a path of peace and an unbreakable bond of love.

The two have been blessed with the creation of “five wonderful souls—three gentlemen and two young ladies,” explained Amy, adding that life is awesome.

After 23 years of matrimony, the couple hasn’t lost their love for surprising each other with gifts from the heart. Lee said they initially had planned to go to Indianapolis for their anniversary but decided the race weekend traffic and lack of hotel accommodations would be a problem. He decided Fort Wayne would make a nice out-of-town anniversary trip.

Amy and Lee Smith stand with musician Michael Patterson who serenaded the couple in Swinney Park.

Amy took advantage of that destination by arranging a very special surprise for her husband. After deciding to take him to spend some time in the beautiful surroundings of Swinney Park, she secretly arranged for local musician Michael Patterson to surprise her husband by serenading with a couple with a song that was very special to the couple when they first met—Tony! Toni! Toné!’s “Anniversary.” Patterson sang and played guitar for the couple as part of Amy’s surprise for her husband. When asked to to do a couple of more love songs for the day, he went seriously old school and chose Sam Cooke’s “You Send Me” as a song from Amy to Lee and the Temptations’ “My Girl” as the song from Lee to Amy—to indicate that weekend’s cloudy weather wouldn’t dampen their special day.

After the afternoon surprise, Lee ferried his beloved off to Nick’s Martini Lounge for an evening of dining and entertainment.

Lee is a computer tech and Amy takes care of the family’ household affairs.

The couple resides in South Bend with their five children.

    • It appears to me that this is a key aspect of the 2030 initiative ideology. While the Rothschilds were indeed influential individuals who were able to sway governments, much like present-day billionaires, the true impetus for change stems from the omnipotent forces (Satan) shaping our world. In this case, there is a false God of this world. However, what drives action within a political framework? Power! What is unfolding before our eyes in today's world? The relentless struggle for power. The overwhelming tide of people rising. We cannot underestimate the direct and sinister influence of Satan in all of this. However, it is up to individuals to decide how they choose to worship God. Satanism, as a form of religion, cannot be regarded as a true religion. Consequently, just as ancient practices of child sacrifice had a place in God's world, such sacrifices would never be accepted by the True God of our universe. Despite the promising 2030 initiative for those involved, it is unfortunately disintegrating due to the actions of certain individuals in positions of authority. A recent incident serves as a glaring example, involving a conflict between peaceful Muslims and a Jewish representative that unfolded just this week. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/11/us-delegation-saudi-arabia-kippah?ref=upstract.com Saudi Arabia was among the countries that agreed to the initiative signed by approximately 179 nations in or around 1994. However, this initiative is now being undermined by the devil himself, who is sowing discord among the delegates due to the ongoing Jewish-Hamas (Palestine) conflict. Fostering antisemitism. What kind of sacrifice does Satan accept with the death of babies and children in places like Gaza, Ukraine, and other conflicts around the world, whether in the past or present, that God wouldn't? Whatever personal experiences we may have had with well-known individuals, true Christians understand that current events were foretold long ago, and nothing can prevent them from unfolding. What we are witnessing is the result of Satan's wrath upon humanity, as was predicted. A true religion will not involve itself in the politics of this world, as it is aware of the many detrimental factors associated with such engagement. It understands the true intentions of Satan for this world and wisely chooses to stay unaffected by them.
    • This idea that Satan can put Jews in power implies that God doesn't want Jews in power. But that would also imply that God only wants "Christians" including Hitler, Biden, Pol Pot, Chiang Kai-Shek, etc. 
    • @Mic Drop, I don't buy it. I watched the movie. It has all the hallmarks of the anti-semitic tropes that began to rise precipitously on social media during the last few years - pre-current-Gaza-war. And it has similarities to the same anti-semitic tropes that began to rise in Europe in the 900's to 1100's. It was back in the 500s AD/CE that many Khazars failed to take or keep land they fought for around what's now Ukraine and southern Russia. Khazars with a view to regaining power were still being driven out into the 900's. And therefore they migrated to what's now called Eastern Europe. It's also true that many of their groups converted to Judaism after settling in Eastern Europe. It's possibly also true that they could be hired as mercenaries even after their own designs on empire had dwindled.  But I think the film takes advantage of the fact that so few historical records have ever been considered reliable by the West when it comes to these regions. So it's easy to fill the vacuum with some very old antisemitic claims, fables, rumors, etc..  The mention of Eisenhower in the movie was kind of a giveaway, too. It's like, Oh NO! The United States had a Jew in power once. How on earth could THAT have happened? Could it be . . . SATAN??" Trying to tie a connection back to Babylonian Child Sacrifice Black Magick, Secret Satanism, and Baal worship has long been a trope for those who need to think that no Jews like the Rothschilds and Eisenhowers (????) etc would not have been able to get into power in otherwise "Christian" nations without help from Satan.    Does child sacrifice actually work to gain power?? Does drinking blood? Does pedophilia??? (also mentioned in the movie) Yes, it's an evil world and many people have evil ideologies based on greed and lust and ego. But how exactly does child sacrifice or pedophilia or drinking blood produce a more powerful nation or cabal of some kind? To me that's a giveaway that the authors know that the appeal will be to people who don't really care about actual historical evidence. Also, the author(s) of the video proved that they have not done much homework, but are just trying to fill that supposed knowledge gap by grasping at old paranoid and prejudicial premises. (BTW, my mother and grandmother, in 1941 and 1942, sat next to Dwight Eisenhower's mother at an assembly of Jehovah's Witnesses. The Eisenhower family had been involved in a couple of "Christian" religions and a couple of them associated with IBSA and JWs for many years.)
