- Yes! You are in! Just like Mother's Day, Father's Day can be a tough time for most. For many of you did not have the best parents. How do I know that? I ask...plus Rom 3:23. Yet there is a solution that some of you leverage that can guarantee you have the Ultimate Father. Here you go...
- If you dig that opening hook that is Marcus Rogers, best life.
- Ok, reflection time. Good dad or bad dad? Probably somewhere in the middle. Here's a good test. When you walk down the card aisle, can you pick any of those cards? The sappiest of the sappiest. Oh Dad, you are the greatest! #1 Dad! If you can't, you are not alone. In fact, I would say you are in the majority of this broken planet. Survey of FriDudes says that about 75% did not have the best dad. You see that's the key fact. We live on a broken planet. Even if your parents were good, they weren't perfect. How do I know that? Rom 3:23.
- So when my kids take something to me (I have 3 kids with my wife Lori of 30+ years), if I have my A game, I'll ask them, did you take this to your Ultimate Father first? As for me, I'm far from perfect. I've dug many holes. Granted, I can also teach them what not to do (avoid my mistakes). On top of that, my mood can vary. That can swing advice.
- No matter what your earthly Dad was/is, you do have a perfect Heavenly Father. The Ultimate Power Source. The Creator of Heavens and Earth. You don't think He knows best?
- My best decisions came when I put Him first. My worst decisions came when I put myself first. It is that simple of an equation.
- Your choice and freedom to who you put First.
- My earthly Dad got that. He didn't have the best earthly dad. In fact, he had a violent alcoholic dad. How did my dad change course? You can actually hear his story. Click here in the show description for that link...

- Now go love, your Ultimate Heavenly Father and Guide. Next, love others, such as your flawed parents. So if they need mercy and grace, surely I say, you will need grace and mercy too.
