<div><span style="font-family: tahoma; border-collapse: collapse;"><strong>What It means to be an S-E-P?</strong></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: tahoma; border-collapse: collapse;"><strong> </strong><br style="font-size: 1em;" /><strong>Sexy</strong> is for the man that is honest, reliable and true. The sexiest thing in a man is his integrity to stand up and be counted on.<br style="font-size: 1em;" /><br style="font-size: 1em;" /><strong>Energetic</strong> is for the man that exudes the love of live life to the fullest. For the man that strives wholeheartedly to live his dreams while helping others along the way.<br style="font-size: 1em;" /><br style="font-size: 1em;" /><strong>Poppas</strong> is for the fathers in all of you all. A true S-E-P cares for his own while passing on knowledge and wisdom for generations to come as only a father can.</span></div>
<p><span style="font-family: tahoma;"><span style="border-collapse: collapse;"><strong>We Honor our Father&#8217;s for doing, living and being a man of honor everyday!</strong></span></span></p>

<h1>What Makes a Dad</h1>
<div>God took the strength of a mountain,</div>
<div>The majesty of a tree,</div>
<div>The warmth of a summer sun,</div>
<div>The calm of a quiet sea,</div>
<div>The generous soul of nature,</div>
<div>The comforting arm of night,</div>
<div>The wisdom of the ages,</div>
<div>The power of the eagle&#8217;s flight,</div>
<div>The joy of a morning in spring,</div>
<div>The faith of a mustard seed,</div>
<div>The patience of eternity,</div>
<div>The depth of a family need,</div>
<div>Then God combined these qualities,</div>
<div>When there was nothing more to add,</div>
<div>He knew His masterpiece was complete,</div>
<div>And so, He called it &#8230; Dad</div>
