Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart

People and Attributes Admired

I admire my wife because she never gave up on me.

I admire my children because they have done so well

with so little help from me. I admire my mother because

she has dedicated her life to her nine children and has

never wavered on her support of them.

Bill Renton, Stuarts Draft, Virginia

My wife is the strongest person that I know mentally.

She is brave in times of trials, hardships, and trauma,

and provides strength for her entire family. She sees

the good in situations as well as in people. She could

run this country, yet holds herself back to care for our

family, always putting herself last.

Dennis Rhoten, Arlington, Texas

I remember a Brother Crenshaw who was such a

sweet, kind gospel preacher, who could make you walk

with Paul, Peter, or any other of the Bible people. He

lived what he taught and I'll never forget him. I love the

person who is the same every time you see them. Also,

when you are able to talk about something that bothers

you to someone knowing they won't tell others about it.

Sallie Dawson, Sulphur Springs, Arkansas

I admire my wife for her love and for putting up with

me for 20 years. I admire my two sons, Matthew and

Nathan, for loving me and making my job as a father

easier. Also, I admire them for listening to me at least

75 percent of the time.
