When you go through a loss, a disappointment or a bad break up, don't expect to come out the same. Expect to come out better off than you were before.

If you cannot be positive, then at least be quiet.

When you get up and say, "God, I want to thank you for being alive, I've got family, I've got my health," you're going to draw in more of the good things from God.

Sometimes you have to put your own dreams on hold temporarily so you can help release a dream in somebody else. What you make happen for others, God will make happen for you.

Your destiny is not determined by your critics. Focus on running your own race.

I've always been an encourager at heart.

There's pros and cons of a big church. Cons is I don't get to know everybody, I don't get to go to their ballgame, I don't get to marry everybody, but the pros are you get all this community, 800 ushers come in to serve, getting there at 7 in the morning on their day off and coming in on Saturday to make all those wafers.
