On Sundays when I speak, I hopefully give somebody something that they can use the next day at work or at home.

If you don't have the gift of a loving supportive family, be that gift for someone else. It doesn't have to be a relative, just someone you know who is alone or hurting over the holiday.

The death of my father is probably the biggest thing that I ever faced. Daddy and I were best friends.

I believe if you keep your faith, you keep your trust, you keep the right attitude, if you're grateful, you'll see God open up new doors.

I'm not leading them to some false God or something like that.

The love of life is the root of all good.

Sustaining faith is what sets you through those dark nights of the soul when you don’t know where to go or what to do, and it seems that you can’t last another day…but because of your faith in God, you do.
