Today is my dad's 80th birthday!  By far, the greatest man I've ever known. When people talk about absent fathers and men not taking responsibility, I don't know what they're talking about in terms of personal experience. 

Because of God and my dad  I am crystal clear on what a man is supposed to be and do.  I understand how to love my wife, children, and grandchild  because I saw my dad love his wife and my mother for 48 years until she died of cancer.  

I know what it means to work hard, solve problems, and be excellent  in your craft  because my dad was an award winning auto technician for 45 years. I know the reality and significance of the word of God and serving others because my dad is a minister,  an outstanding  Bible teacher and has been involved in outreach ministry for 35 years. 

And the half has not been told! 

Happy Birthday to my father, Horace Bryan Hudson!
