Although my Father is gone now, there were many lessons he taught me:
Stand up for your beliefs;
Do the right thing;
Drink a cold beer in the back yard after a hard day mowing the lawn;
Put your hand over your heart (and remove your hat) when saying the Pledge of Allegiance;
Love Nature;
History is fascinating - take time to study it;
Politics teach you a lot about human nature;
Read your Bible and practice what it teaches;
When you do a job - do it right the first time;
You are only as good as your word;
The name I gave you came to you spotless - make sure you pass it on that way;
Women and girls are special creatures of God - love and respect them;
Take care of those less fortunate than you.
Thanks, Dad! I miss you.
Guys - here's hoping you have a wonderful day!
