Keeping your family together is an extraordinary feat - especially in the face of great conflict.

Not only is your story your truth, your story is going to be the platform and the foundation for everything that's getting ready to happen in your life.

To get where you want to go, you first have to become who God wants you to be.

Anything you don't water, anything you don't take care of in your life, is going to die.

Cast PURPOSE as the lead in your movie and you will help God, your Director, produce a masterwork.

Commit to a career built on sacrifice, not compromise.

All roads lead to Wall Street, but we feel the effects of Wall Street on every street corner. Certainly in Syracuse, N.Y., where I live.

The man don't make the vision; the vision makes the man.

Dearest Lord, teach me to be generous; teach me to serve you as you deserve; to give and not to count the cost.

Fresh peach pie can lift a bullying reprobate into apologetic courtesy; I have watched it happen.
