A Few Good Men

Today's comments are a tribute to the men in my life that are living out the words of Psalm 78:4-6. Take a moment to look up those verses as you are also drawn to thoughts of fathers.

Yes, my desire is to see women become the woman God intended for them to be. But, I would be remiss to not mention the need for godly men. The older I get the more I am convinced that godly men are far and few between.

I am extremely thankful for the strong, godly father that I was blessed to have. Yes, I am a daughter of a pastor. The character trait I have admired the most has been his faithfulness to serving the Lord. I would then say his humble spirit. In a day where I see many in ministry just trying to make their way up the ladder of "ministry success", my father never fell into the trap of wanting a "big name". He faithfully served in the ministry God had called him to. He truly followed God's call as opposed to "getting his name out there".


I am the women I am because of his love and discipline!




I have been given a double portion! I have also been blessed with a godly husband with the same traits as my father. I can say that my children's father is full of integrity. He is honest to a fault!

I must admit that he is the "better half". God was definitley looking out for me when he allowed me to meet Jeff Bartlett.








I also have to mention my father in law. On many occassions, I have heard my husband talk of the prayer life of his father. This was part of the molding of my husband and my childrens father. He has given an example of staying faithful to his wife.



I pray that my son will take all of the heritage that he has been given and become a man like his daddy , grandpa and dadaw!
