We Americans are living a lifestyle of exhaustion. We don't have time for ourselves, much less for each other and our children.

Children are not casual guests in our home. They have been loaned to us temporarily for the purpose of loving them and instilling a foundation of values on which their future lives will be built.

There is nothing more important than parents passing on a generational legacy of faith and values to their children.

If homes are going to survive, it will be because husbands and fathers again place their families at the highest level on their system of priorities.

The Lord doesn't always remove the sources of stress in our lives...but He's always there and cares for us. We can feel His arms around us on the darkest night.

My legacy doesn't matter. It isn't important that I be remembered. It's important that when I stand before the Lord, he says, 'Well done, good and faithful servant.' I want to finish strong.

When the unexpected meets with the unprepared, over there we find the greatest astonishments!

The other houses in the neighborhood had Christmas lights up and trees visible in their windows, but not Shae's. She and I were the only ones who didn't care anymore, and I liked that about her.

In addition to my cousin, there were 30 or 40 guys I grew up with who became firefighters as well. So, I've been around firefighters all my life.

Misdirect ALL the time.

I do know that there are some things that exist in this world that you just can't prove. That could be the case with God or whoever might be up there, but I don't follow any one religion.

Running reminded me exactly who I am and what I am made of.

Music's been part of my entire life. It's in my DNA.

The orb came about because I wanted to do this kitsch sweater for Prince Charles when he went hunting and fishing with his kilt on.
