It's good that kids know the Scripture. It's best that they know the Scripture and get the concept. All I can say is, it's working.

There are things God does for me daily, and it throws me into brain lock, because I know in my heart I don't deserve that kind of grace. I don't deserve that break.

I tell kids that people will let them down and people will hurt them. But Jesus Christ will never let them down and never hurt them.

I always felt as though, 'If nothing else, I have a successful marriage.'

'Give up... it's time to quit,' I don't think I've ever really accepted those kinds of words in my life or vocabulary.

I think people who are artists, actors, singers, great songwriters, they tend to have a hyper state of emotion where they feel things very, very deeply, probably more deeply than the average person walking down the street where it may affect them, but not to the same extent.
