I respect the courts, but the Supreme Court is only that -- the supreme of the courts. It is not the supreme being. It cannot overrule God, when it comes to prayer, when it comes to life, and when it comes to the sanctity of marriage, the court cannot change what God has created.
Prayer's important, not just as some kind of a metaphysical exercise, but I think it's a way to refresh one's own mind and motive. If you're praying, you're really looking beyond your own personal thoughts and the pressures that are around you.
The reason America is a special nation is because it was founded by people who were first on their knees before they were on their feet. We are a nation rooted in our faith.
Prayer reminds me it's not just about me. It's about all the people with whom I share this planet, and all of whom God has created, and all of whom he cares just as much about as he cares about me.
Every single one of us as Americans need to remember that freedom did not come free, as we get on our knees tonight, thank God we live in a country where people are trying to break into, and not a country people are trying to break out of.
The big problem is that the storm affected major electric transmission lines. It has destroyed the infrastructure of the state's distribution system,
The churches have filled in the gaps, especially when you consider that these folks have been dehumanized by this experience, ... It's not just a cot, food and a shower they need, it's a human touch, a hug, warmth, some level of respect.
The churches are really acting like churches, ... It has been impressive to me that when we thought about moving certain state resources and assets to an area, the local communities often beat us to the punch.
I liked gravy poured on top of a big glob of mashed potatoes, I liked biscuits a lot, and a lot of them. I liked going to the state fair and having a fried Twinkie. They were my choices. They were bad choices.
It was one of the greatest days of my whole life, ... It ranks right up there with the birth of my children and the day I was sworn in as governor.
To put it in perspective, this tornado today or this series of tornadoes will probably rank equal to all of the tornadoes that we had in the entire year last year, ... So that will give you some perspective of just what an incredible disaster this has been for our state.
We could potentially be looking at taking an enormous amount of people from Houston, ... We're going to have to prepare in the event. It would tax us if we had to, but we would do it.
Well, for me the pro-life issue has been something I've been very passionate about since the '70s, and I have been very involved in the pro-life community since long before politics.
One of the things about politics, when you're actually there, you realize, you're on a high wire and there is no net under you. On any given day, your campaign can implode for something that happens inadvertently or even intentionally.
