I never thought I was particularly talented, and to be honest with you, I still don't.

I had never really pictured myself working in children's ministries. I always figured I would be more comfortable with maybe teens or adult ministries.

This is not what I would have chosen. But I have a heart to be obedient.

Being stubborn can be a good thing. Being stubborn can be a bad thing. It just depends on how you use it.

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

My wife bought an extra life insurance policy on me.

I had older brothers and sisters who were high achievers, and I felt different, misunderstood by my family. That's not my family's fault; it was my perception.
