That whole program took on a life of its own.
You needn't die happy when your day comes, but you must die satisfied, for you have lived your life from beginning to end.
If God gives you something you can do, why in God's name wouldn't you do it?
He who speaks without an attentive ear is mute.
Everything is sort of built in a way that to me suggests intelligent design. But at the same time there's a lot of things in life where you say to yourself, well, if this is God's plan, it's very peculiar. And you have to wonder about that guy's personality, the big guy's personality.
