I was looking for excellence in any color or gender it comes in. Some of my top people are African American but not all of them.

So though there are many things I would have done differently, I submit to God's sovereignty and His purpose in my life and I thank Him that He brought me the way He brought me and gave me what He gave me when He thought I could handle it.

Its not over, until the Lord says its over.

Excellence requires discomfort.

The world is a university and everyone in it is a teacher. Make sure when you wake up in the morning you go to school.

Nobody wants somebody who wants them for what they have or the position their in- you want somebody who wants you for you. In case it all goes crazy and it all turns to dust. I want somebody who loves me in the welfare line, eating gumbo, eating fish,black eyed peas and rice. I want somebody that loves me. God wants you to love him, not his cars, not his house, not his blessing- love him.

I'm having an amazing time teaching through the lives of people much like Jesus did.
