only 11 times. In New Testament, Jesus himself so addressed God as
"Father" 107 times," and also, " Who will be fathers to the fatherless?
40% of children who live in fatherless households haven’t seen their

Tom Sims Dad taught be to be honest and to work hard and that customers were always right - no matter how wrong they were.
Tom Sims Dad overcame a lifetime of cultural prejudice to see all people as equal. That takes integrity.
