God, the Master Weaver. He stretches the yarn and intertwines the colors, the ragged twine with the velvet strings, the pains with the pleasures. Nothing escapes his reach.

If you have a pulse, you're going to have pain.

Faith is the conviction that God knows more than we do about this life and He will get us through it.

I choose kindness... I will be kind to the poor, for they are alone. Kind to the rich, for they are afraid. And kind to the unkind, for such is how God has treated me

I love everything about the Christmas season.

I don't have any desire to retire in the sense of not doing anything. Because as long as the Lord gives me strength I want to keep writing and keep preaching. I love what I do.

I don't get asked a lot of questions about who is the best political candidate or what my position is on what the Senate is about to do.
