I was driving home from a concert the other night and as I was driving I followed the signs, but there was one point I began to question where I was going because it didn’t look right. I had driven this same road several times before but at this one point it didn’t seem like I was on the right road. I pulled out my GPS to ensure I was going on he right path, but the directions didn’t pull up fast enough. I then saw another sign that indicated I was on the right track. The exit that I needed to get off on wasn’t coming fast enough or…

A Father’s Love
What does it mean to be a father? Dictionary.com defines it as a male parent. I would hope that it is more to it than just that. Everyone has their own interpretation of what a father is, which usually is based on experiences. My experience of a father could be described by the following words, responsible, loving, giving, respectful, respected, diligent, understanding, and humble. I’ve had the pleasure of having a good experience with my father, however, there are so many people in the word that cannot say the same. I am grateful for my experience, but let me not paint the picture of perfection. We all make mistakes, parents…
