I always say if God didn't allow any bad things to happen, we would already be in heaven. And we are not there. That's where trust and faith comes in. You just say, "Lord, I don't understand it. But one thing I do know is that you understand it and that you are in control and I trust you."

Anyone with a normal brain can do almost anything.

I think of success as reaching beyond ourselves and helping other people in specific ways.

What a wonderful thing is to be able to contribute to the restoration of someone's health. It's not only a feeling that I'm worth something, but that I have something to contribute.

I came to realize that if people could make me angry they could could control me. Why should I give someone else such power over my life?

If we acknowledge our need for God, he will help us.

What I agree with is that we need a significantly changed taxation system. And the one that I've advocated is based on tithing, because I think God is a pretty fair guy.
