We hung in there and played our hearts out. But we were too short-handed without Devin.
I sense a little change, ... I hear it every day. 'We got to do something different, because the other way hasn't been working.'
I was shocked to find there weren't any more changes than this. I've heard a lot of comments, mostly very derogatory comments.
The governor reviewed the material in the case this week, ... He decided the best route is a private clemency hearing, so he can hear directly from counsel.
It scared everyone. When we saw the delayed designation, our hearts dropped.
I think you get great strength from hearing from others and knowing that you're not by yourself.
It breaks my heart to realize that the culture has basically transformed the church rather than the church confronting the culture and trying to transform it.

If a kid screws up, yelling lets everyone know that, 'I didn't teach the kid to do that.' There's a feeling that I've got to yell or people won't think I am coaching.

We were planning to build another hangar, but the cost of building materials has gone through the roof.
We lose sight of the fact that this is a lawsuit under specific statutes, and that certain activities have to constitute a violation under those statutes.
We went into a period there where we could not hit the broad side of a barn. We knew we had to shoot the ball well, since they are so much bigger than us, we knew we would not rebound.
We underestimated what kind of acting chops this guy had, and we now see what he's able to do when he's given the right part. He's taken his considerable acting experience, melded that with his own kind of personality, melded that with the almost mythic history he brings to the part.
