I think that if my kids are completely convinced of God's unfailing love for them, whether they fail or not, they'll have confidence to persevere in life

Its true. Im a simple person. Some people tend to live from trauma to trauma, and that energizes them. I have a hectic schedule, but my mind seeks simplicity - like being in nature, a long bike ride, or sitting on the back porch.

It's human nature to be curious about people, and to be more curious about young people than old people. We want to cheer something on at the same time we want to tear it down. That's just so normal.

I never thought getting older would be so great. But when it comes to depression, I have experienced less the older I've gotten.

I write about everything, but I just - how faith filters through all that and colors your opinion of other people and life and all that.

I just think music is such a beautiful thing. It lifts the heart and buoys up your spirits - all kinds of music.

Man hurts man, time and time again. As we drown in the wake of our power, somebody tell me why?
