When you follow Christ, it must be a total burning of all your bridges behind you.

We never know when we too will be called into eternity. I doubt if even one of those people who got on those planes or walked into the World Trade Center or the Pentagon last Tuesday morning thought it would be the last day of their lives. They didn't - it didn't occur to them. And that's why each of us needs to face our own spiritual need and commit ourselves to God and his will now.

I'm not an analyzer. I've got a son that analyzes everything and everybody. But I don't analyze people.

In my family we got up in the mornings around three o'clock and went out to the barns to bring the cows in and milk. In high school I milked about twenty cows every morning and about twenty in the afternoon when I got home. I have wonderful memories from those early days when my parent's influence was so strong.

It is a great privilege, as well as our responsibility, to pray for our government leaders.

Kindness is an essential part of Gods work and ours here on earth.

I don't need a successor, only willing hands to accept the torch for a new generation.
