I wrote this blog several years ago. My father recently passed away. I am in the process of updating this content. Here is a link to the new version of this post. Also, here is a link to my father’s obituary.
I am trying to be a good father to you boys
It is important to me that I become the best dad possible. The good news is that I have an excellent role model. Opa is a great dad. He has been one for my whole life. Over the years I learned a lot from my father. Too many lessons to list here. Instead, I will share with you six life principles that my father taught me. Over the next several weeks I plan to explain these lessons my father taught me in greater detail.
- F: Faith is not complicated
- A: Attitudes are contagious
- T: Talk with your feet
- H: Have a good time
- E: Express love to your children
- R: Remember who you are…a Ranger
My son, don’t reject the Lord’s discipline and don’t be upset when he corrects you. For the Lord corrects those he loves, just as a father corrects a child in whom he delights.
Proverbs 3:11-12
I am Doug Keating and this is my letter to sons.
