You gotta laugh and love and take all life has to give. You gotta live and learn so you can learn to live.

When I was growing up, I always knew that if I ever got anything, I was going to give back as much as I can. I learned that all you have to be willing to do is give your time.

My understanding of the Scriptures has been made simple by the person of Christ.

Coincidence is the science of the true believer.
