Rich Mullins was the uneasy conscience of Christian music. He didn't live like a star. He'd taken a vow of poverty so that what he earned could be used to help others.

The more time you invest in a marriage, the more valuable it becomes.

Do I think all contemporary Christian music is good? No.

But my experience is that people who have been through painful, difficult times are filled with compassion.

Every good relationship, especially marriage, is based on respect. If it's not based on respect, nothing that appears to be good will last very long.

If football had always been my main goal then I would have gone to some scholarship school; I could have gotten more exposure there.
