When I took over from my father, he came from the Southern Baptist background, and back 40-50 years ago, there was a lot more of that.I don't believe - maybe it was for a time. But I don't have it in my heart to condemn people. I'm there to encourage them.

Today, use your words to lift up and bless the people around you.

I'm blessed to be a blessing to someone else.
