Father's Day

You will not find this man's name on my birth certificate, but he is my dad. His name is Mike Leese and I love him just like he was my natural father. He is the man who raised me, and he loved my mother with all of his heart.

We have very little in common. My dad is not a church-goer, but he respects what I do. I continue to pray that he would give his life to Jesus.

I'm sure he is still in bed, but I will call him after church to wish him a Happy Father's Day. Be sure to connect with your dad today!

Mike is without a doubt, one of the most GRUFF men, who's KINDNESS knows no bounds, that I've ever known.

Mike Leese, or as we've called him for many years, "M.L." has always been someone you could count on, even if you do something STUPID and have to walk all the way home from the Drive-In theatre. (ask Jeff about that one, I dare you ;))

A Better Role Model cannot be found than "M.L."

Brenda (Jeff's Mom), "T.L." Traci and Jeff "Gril" have all been blessed to have "M.L." as a part of their lives.

It is truly an honor to know him.
