1. Being a man of God will be your greatest achievement in life.
2. Never forget when you believed you could be anything-Captain America, a race car driver, or a lineman like daddy. You can do whatever you want, Landon.
3. Your sister adores you, even on the days she’s a diva. Never forget how much she loves you.

13. Keep your credit and your teeth clean. You’ll have those two things for a long time.
14. We all make mistakes. The trick is to get back up.
15. Don’t wallow in your problems. It’s an ugly addiction, and soon people will not want to talk to you because of how much you talk about your issues. Talk about your joys.

18. Life sucks some days. It’s just a day, it’s not your entire life.
19. A person is a person, no matter how much money they have, what kind of job they have, their race or etc. Treat them kindly.
20. Eat your fruits and veggies.
21. If you don’t like sports, it’s ok. If you don’t like electronics, that’s ok to.
22. You are you. Nothing is more wonderful than a man that is comfortable in his own skin.
23. Give your wife a hug and tell her you love her every day. It’s a big deal for women and good for your marriage.

26. Overworking is overrated.

60. There are some women that can create drama out of absolutely nothing, and they do it routinely. Beware.
61. Be careful when you drive someday. I know you like pretending to be a race car driver, but…be safe.
