• All of my children dedicate their heart, soul & actions to Jesus Christ
There is nothing of more importance• Have all of my children believe in their heart that I'm a great Father
Trying hard every day to make this an ongoing reality in their hearts• Commit my heart, soul and actions to Jesus Christ

WOW... this is a hard one for me.• Help others in all I do, always, no matter how long I live.
This is something that has become part of who I am... but I honestly have to say, it's wearing me out. I am discovering that helping people who are able, but not willing, to help themselves is a mis-use of valuable resources that could be used to help those truly in need. If you do for others what they could and should do for themselves, they will let you.• Be physically fit
