The Life Of Phil Robertson
Your life can change any minute. Your life can be outstanding one minute and terrible the next. life is a mystery and you don't know what will happen next. You can make the most of your life and make it the best it can be. Some people don't go anywhere with there life and just ruin it by doing drug's or drinking. These kind of people just waste their life's away doing these things. other people go to school, get a good job, have a family, and live a wonderful life. Phil Robertson did some really terrible things and was hanging around some bad people. His life was really unacceptable until he turned it around and stopped doing all the terrible things he was doing.
When Phil was young he was hanging around careless people and doing outrageous things. He would drink, smoke, and even took pills. He would get drunk all the time with his friends and smoke some drugs if they were around. He was living a terrible life. He even quit sports to party all the time with his friends to do drugs. His wife Kay Robertson didn't like what he was doing and even left him until he stopped what he was doing. She took their three kids(Alan, Jason, Willie) and they moved into a low-rent apartment. When Kay came back to work from lunch one day and Phil's truck was there. He told Kay that he wanted his family back, and that he wouldn't drink anymore and he was done partying all the time with his friends. Phil said, ''He needed help to quit'' and Kay said, '' The only person that can help you is God.''
After Phil said he needed help, Kay called Bill Smith, the preacher. Phil met with Smith and his wife at Kay's apartment. Phil told Smith that he didn't trust him when they first met each other. Phil and Smith studied the Bible together for hours. Phil met with Smith again to have another meeting the next night. one day when Kay and the boy's came home, Phil left them a note telling them to go to White's Ferry Road Church. When Kay got to the Church, Phil was already in the middle of getting baptized. When Phil got baptized it turned his life around. He was twenty-eight years old when he got baptized and put his life back on the right track. Kay was happy to have her husband back and there boy's were happy to have their father back.
Phil went back to teaching at Ouachita Christian School. He also started attending services at White's Ferry Road Church and studied God's Word with groups of friends or alone. He was really turning his life around, and doing it the right way. After a while Phil wanted to quit teaching and pursue his dream of making a living off of fishing. He told Kay, and she encouraged him to go threw with his dream. There family moved to a house by the river and Phil started his fishing career. Phil made more money off his fishing dream then his teaching career he had. Phil also went into craw fishing. He made great money and was living the dream he always wanted to live. One time Phil was duck hunting with his friend Big Al and he told him ''Man, you weren't calling those ducks, you were commanding those them!'' That's when Phil decided to make and sell his own duck calls. Phil didn't have any trouble making them, but selling them was when he really had trouble. No one wanted to buy his duck calls, but then he went to this store and this guy listened to his duck calls and wanted to buy some. After that Phil's started to sell duck calls. His business really took off when he started to sell his duck calls to Walmart. He was making big profits off of selling duck calls then.
This was the beginning of Duck Commander and eventually Buck Commander. Phil wanted to retire from working at Duck Commander so he offered his son Jase the CEO job to run the family business, but he turned it down. After Jase turned down the CEO job Phil offered the job to his other son Willie because he was really the only person in the family that new about businesses and how to run one. Willie took the CEO job and now runs the family business. He made it into a big corporation and when you go into most stores now you see Duck Commander products and other accessories. Phil went from being a low down no good drug head to a Christian and big business owner. Phil's life changed dramatically and he still lives by the good word of God and goes places to spread God's word. Phil has a wonderful wife and five great sons that help run the business today. He lives a wonderful life now and is thankful for the things he has.
