God teaches us to love by putting some unlovely people around us.

The heart of the issue is an issue of the heart. And that's why I'm a pastor, not a politician. Because I think only - only God can change hearts. And only God can take the evil out. I don't think you can legislate the evil out of people.

In our final moments we all realize that relationships are what life is all about. Wisdom is learning that truth sooner rather than later.

Remember how far you've come, not just how far you have to go.
