#1 – The Lord. His example and his words guide everything I do.
#2 – My mom. My dad left her high and dry when I was 7 years old. She didn’t wallow in her self-pity, but sucked it up, worked two jobs to raise 3 girls on her own and found ways to still give to others even when it seemed we couldn’t afford to share.
#3 – My father-in-law. Although he did not have a formal college degree, he knew something about everything, was the charter member/founder of our church, worked his whole life for the same company.
