matter. Every person was treated like the one before and the one after. They got a meal, a bed (or couch) if needed, and a Bible study.
Phil does not get upset or excited about much. He does not get out of his chair to shake your hand if you are wealthy or famous, because he does not get out of his chair if you aren’t. No one is better than anyone else in his eyes. Without Jesus, everyone is lost. That pretty much puts everyone on an even playing field. Phil looks at everyone the same way. His attitude is, “That person needs Jesus, and I am more than happy to share Him with them.” I love that about Phil.

Phil has always been the big, burly, totally straightforward guy he is today. After all, he was once a star quarterback! Even with his imposing physical presence, I never had any reservations about speaking my mind in front of him or in front of Miss Kay. That wasnot always a good thing, but they understood my immaturity and did not keep a record of my wrongs.
One of the most important lessons I have learned in life I learned from Phil. It is this: whether or not you agree with a decision your child has made, you still stand by that child (even if he or she is an adult) and you stand by that decision.
When Alan and I had our relationship problems in the late 1990s (more about this later), Phil told Alan that he did not think we should get back together. Alan made the decision to accept me back into our home and into his life. When that happened, Phil told Alan that even though he thought I would just hurt him again, he would respect Alan’s decision and he would treat me with respect. That is exactly what he has done since that time, and he has never once questioned our decision. He even defended Alan’s choice when others questioned him and tried to put stipulations on the relationship. Phil has acted out 1 Corinthians 13:5, which says that love keeps no record of wrongs.

WHAT A TEAM!
A Message from the Daughters-in-Law
Sometimes people who have been married as long as Phil and Miss Kay reach a point where they lead comfortable but somewhat separate lives. This is definitely not true for Phil and Miss Kay. Although they are not “joined at the hip,” and they do not do everything together every day (Miss Kay would not want to spend that much time in a duck blind), they have a great relationship and an exceptionally strong marriage. They know how to work together, play together, serve God together, and love our family together. They are both strong, gifted individuals, and they make a terrific team.
Jessica: W HO C OULD A SK FOR A NYTHING M ORE ?
Growing up, my mother got along very well with my father’s parents, and my father got along very well with hers. They both lovedeach other’s families and enjoyed spending time with them. We spent many summers as a family at my dad’s parents’ fishing camp and many weekends and holidays during fall and winter hunting seasons at my mom’s parents’ hunting camp. Sometimes, both sets of grandparents ended up at the hunting camp, and all of us had a great time together.
People sometimes tell horror stories about their in-laws, but I never saw anything other than love and respect in my biological family, so when I married Jep, I expected to have great relationships with Phil and Miss Kay, and that’s exactly what has happened.
I don’t think anyone could ask for better in-laws than Phil and Miss Kay; they are everything I could have dreamed of, and I feel so blessed to have them. When Jep and I were first dating, I was going through a lot in my life, and they showed me love and forgiveness. Kay has so much love in her heart, and Phil is one of the wisest men I know.
I love the relationship Miss Kay and Phil have with each other. She respects and adores him. When Phil looks at Miss Kay or speaks to her, you can see in his eyes and hear in his voice that he thinks she is the best wife in the entire world. What I have observed
