Today happens to be his birthday and that is what led me to think about his traits I admire and respect most. As I was thinking about each of the qualities that he exemplifies in his life, the list above is what came to mind. After reading that list its easy to see why I respect and love him so much. I am so grateful for the example he sets for me and for our two children as well as everyone else that knows him. Rollin puts God first in his life and it shows in the way he lives each day with so much love and kindness toward others. I am truly blessed to have him in my life and I just wanted to wish him a very Happy Birthday today!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">It\u2019s a great exercise for each of us to sit down and make a list of the qualities you admire most in people you respect most in your life. Then go through the list and consider which traits you want to try and improve on in your own life. It\u2019s a great way to start off this new week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">Have a great day everyone!
