Happy Father's Day

Terry Teague is one of the greatest men I know. He is genuine and tenderhearted. Dad is wise and very practical. He's a hard-worker who has sacrificed to provide for his family. And you should know that if he ever picks on you, it's just his way of showing you he loves you tremendously. Among the many lessons he taught me and my sister, he raised us to love deeply, be respectful, think for ourselves and to set goals.

Dad was out-numbered with three women in the household, and he managed to survive. (But we should pause for a moment of silence and pay homage to his lost hair.) Thankfully, Dad now has two sons to help bring hormonal balance to the Teague family.

I'm very blessed to have a wonderful Father. My Dad's love reminds me of how much God, my heavenly Father, loves me. I love you, Dad!

Jim Freeman is one of the other greatest men I know. Though he is not my natural father, I love and respect my father-in-law more than I can express. When I married his son over four years ago, I didn't quite know what to make of Jim. He seemed so serious and stern. But as I've gotten to know him better through the years, I realize that Chris inherits much of his humor, love for made up languages and strict adherence to schedules from his father. Jim is respected by many and is a great example of what a father should be. I couldn't be more blessed to have him for a father-in-law.

Happy Father's Day!
