Seven Promises from Your Dad

I wrote this a few years ago for my kids, something I try to live up to everyday. It’s also one of the seminars I’m developing for a men’s retreat. So, what do you think? Have you made similar commitments/promises to your kids?

Awesome. It reminds me of my Dad, Guy. He is one who walks the talk and has exhibted all points. Years after I went to live with them he said with me, he learned to endure. He was not just committed, he was dedicated. I am so thankful for real men like that and your encouragement to other men to do the same.
