Everyone has a worst time in their life. There's always a worse time. We are all either in a crisis, coming to one or coming out of one.

No matter how long it takes or how desperately a person battles or denies, the truth always-always-makes itself known.

Everyone has a worst time in their life. There's always a worse time. We are all either in a crisis, coming to one or coming out of one.

Whatever you focus upon, increases......When you focus on the things you need, you'll find those needs increasing......A grateful perspective brings happiness and abundance into a person's life.

Everybody wants to make a difference, but nobody wants to be different. And you simply cannot have one without the other.

When I was 19 years old, both of my parents died in the same year; my mom of cancer and my dad in a car accident. Through the next two or three years and a series of bad decisions - all my own, I might add - I ended up literally homeless, before that was even a word. I even slept occasionally under a pier on the Gulf Coast.

I understand that what I am to do is to be a bridge between the people who would never set foot in a church in their entire lives and people who would like to get them there. So I write books that Christians can give to their non-Christian friends that they will actually read.
