I admire people who dare to take the language, English, and understand it and understand the melody.

How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!

Lord keep Your arm around my shoulder and Your hand over my mouth.

You don't want modesty, you want humility. Humility comes from inside out. It says someone was here before me and I'm here because I've been paid for. I have something to do and I will do that because I'm paying for someone else who has yet to come.
