There is nothing more fearful for the average person in our society than to stand before a group of people and speak.

Two words will help you cope when you run low on hope: accept and trust.

Without a quest, life is quickly reduced to bleak black and wimpy white, a diet too bland to get anybody out of bed in the morning. A quest fuels our fire. It refuses to let us drift downstream gathering debris.

I know of nothing more valuable, when it comes to the all-important virtue of authenticity, than simply being who you are.

You and I can become so dedicated to the will of God, we can be so driven by a false sense of purpose, that we might inadvertently take matters into our own hands and leave God completely out of the loop.

Please, put aside all excuses and ask yourself, "What should I be doing?" Yes, you alone can make a difference. The question is, will you?

I am often the brunt of my own humor.
