I'm healthy as can be - not an ache or a pain. A lot of my prayer is thanking the Lord that I am healthy. I pray for long life and good health.
I struggled for a long time with survivin', and no matter what, you keep finding something to fight for.
If we say it long enough eventually we're going to reap a harvest. We're going to get exactly what we're saying.

As long as you have breath, someone needs your talents.
When you get knocked down, don't stay down; get back up again. Nothing good is going to happen as long as you're down on yourself.
It doesnt matter how long it’s been or how impossible it looks, all the forces of darkness cannot stop what God wants to do.
No matter how long it's been, no matter how impossible it looks, if you'll stay in faith, your time is coming.
I don't focus on the critics. Everyone who is making any difference in any field has critics. As long as I feel like I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing, then I don't worry about it.
When you are tempted to get discouraged, remind yourself that according to God’s word, your future is getting brighter; you are on your way to a new level of glory. You may think you’ve got a long way to go, but you need to look back at how far you’ve already come. You may not be everything you want to be but atleast you can thank God that you’re not what you used to be.
The Hindus are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet.
I am excited about the opportunity of expanding our outreach with Free Press.
You may make some mistakes-but that doesn't make you a sinner. You've got the very nature of God on the inside of you.
Faith is easy; I think people complicate it.
