Well Done

We talk a lot on this site about raising our children right. How to give our sons and daughters the tools to live successfully and to live honorably. As a parent, we cannot guarantee the circumstances they will find themselves in as adults, but we cross our fingers, hoping we have prepared them well, no matter what life has to offer.

A childhood friend of my daughter's has had those unusual circumstances. She grew up in Muskogee, went to OU and then on to her career. She met a young man from California, they fell in love and they were married. She began to work in the family business. They had a beautiful baby.

You ask, "What is unusual about that?" What is unusual is this young woman is married to a 5 time Nascar Sprint Cup Champion. The life she is living could have changed who she was and where she came from. Instead, Chandra Johnson has chosen to focus on the values she learned at home. Family. Friends.

Living a public life, she is intensely protective of her private one. Except in one aspect. Chandra is willing to step into the spotlight if it can make a difference. Habitat for Humanity, Make a Wish , Victory Junction, The Jimmie Johnson Champions Grant Program. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson have truly taken the blessings and opportunities offered them and shared their good fortune.

I am proud of Chani. She has grown up to be a fine and exceptional young woman. She is handling this life she is living with dignity and honor. I know her Mother and Father are exceptionally proud of her. They should be. She learned it all from them.

Great job Jack and Lynn!! chrissie
