I want honor my adopted Dad, Dan Woodworth, today. I have known him for 12 years, since I was 18 years old.

Here are some of the things he has taught me:

How to interview for a job
How to present myself for a potential employer
How to drive a car
How to speak on the phone
How to be the best worker I can be
How to stand up to controlling roommates
How to speak in public
How to be a man of God
How to be faithful a husband and father
How to have integrity in all you do
How to respect people, shake their hand and look them in the eyes
How to keep a clean car
How to prepare for a road trip properly
How to be a Team Player
How to think of others before myself
How to use my manners
How to walk with my shoulders back and my head held high
How to be a good citizen
How to be a good man
How to run things by him before I make decisions. I know I can trust him.
How to laugh at myself and not take myself so seriously
How to loosen up and not be too stiff

Happy Father's Day Dad!

Hi Chris,

Thank You for honoring me highly! I love you and appreciate who you are!

Your destiny is determined and dynamic! You will be a World Shaker and a Destiny Changer! You have a heart that resonates with many in the "Fatherless" current generation of teenagers and twenty somethings!

You feel what they feel and they will listen to your heart of love and compassion!
