He’s a CEO, a grocery man, sits on grocery retail boards, a cattle farmer, a rancher, a gardener, a daddy, a pawpaw, a husband, a good man. He wears many hats all year long, but at this time of the year, we honor the daddy.
Father’s Day was first proposed in 1909 by Sonora Dodd. After listening to a Mother’s Day sermon, she thought that the fathers should also enjoy their own memorable day.
We all think about our own daddies on this day, and I recall my small dynamite of a daddy, Earl.

Jake Rose is in the hospital in Southaven. Please pray, friends and family, and keep him and his family in your prayers,
Sunday was Bro. Ricky Harris’ birthday and the congregation gathered around him and sang “Happy Birthday!” I know he enjoyed that!
Get well wishes to Wendy Harrell Dorby, who stepped on a sweet gum ball coming out of the veterans’ museum in Tupelo Thursday and broke her foot.

As if by magic, the digital picture frame on my work desk started working again after several years.
It’s loaded with thousands of photos over the last 25 years, many of them photos of my children as they were growing up.
I watch with awe. Did all that really happen? Did I do all that? I thank God for the energy and drive that allowed me to be a father and family man for all those years.
