Wise is the man who says what needs to be said, but not all that could be said.

Young people are going to go to someone, somewhere.

Over the years I have learned that when I need answers to deal with crises, people, and issues, I must go to God. God will help us in everything we do if we stay in tune and if we will call on him.
