You CAN be what you want to be. Whatever that is.

If fathers aren't growing up, I would challenge them to want to be a father that is present in the home, so that their kids have that identity.

I'M INTROSPECTIVE, because sometimes I want to take "our" side without looking at the facts in situations like these. Sometimes I feel like it's us against them. Sometimes I'm just as prejudiced as people I point fingers at. And that's not right. How can I look at white skin and make assumptions but not want assumptions made about me? That's not right.

I'M ANGRY because the stories of injustice that have been passed down for generations seem to be continuing before our very eyes.

Moral failure occurs when people lose focus and gradually drift off the path.

The cure for the Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice and Eric Garner tragedies is not education or exposure. It's the Gospel. So, finally, I'M ENCOURAGED because the Gospel gives mankind hope.

A consistent and heart-filled effort to completion is the foundation of excellent work.
