It seems like when I was growing up there was more compromise, wanting to work with each other, and I think all of them - all of the lawmakers - have hearts to do what's right, and they all are passionate about it.

Life is short. Don't miss opportunities to spend time with the people that you love.

A small pot boils quick. You can tell much about the depth of one's character by how quickly he 'boils'.

Part of my message is that God never said that we weren't going to have difficulties, but you know what, He said to stay full of joy and I'm going to help you overcome. So I think that is what resonates with people and helps draw so many people. Because it is not a message that you are barely going to make it, you're a victim. We are not victims, we are victors.

You cannot let where you are today cause you to get stuck. I'm going to be my best right now. That's what faith is all about.

Salvation and Christ's love is a gift. You don't earn it. You've got to receive that gift. I think one of the most important things is starting off the day forgiving others and forgiving yourself. You learn from your mistakes, but I don't think you have to drag them back into today.

I think it's a cop-out to say I'm a Christian but I don't ever do anything...
