SELF: Who I am, what I believe

This is who I am and why. First, I love my God, my dear wife, my family, friends and America in that order. I’m grateful for parents that taught me discipline and right from wrong. I believe the Bible is God’s inspired word and the answers to all life’s questions can be found there.

I wish young people would study history more and spend less time on their phones. I love all life, tiny babies, and mothers who choose life and not the other selfish option. I love our veterans old and young and all who have cared enough to serve this great nation no matter the danger.

I dislike cowards, liars and men who do not treat their spouses with respect. I have no use whatsoever for lazy people and those who think the world owes them a living and for those who refuse to work and carry their own weight.

I have zero respect for those who vilify the rich but wouldn’t lift a finger to better themselves, nor do I respect politicians who change their positions to match the way the wind blows on any given day.

I highly respect hardworking farmers and ranchers who do most of the hard work while the middle man reaps most of the profits.
