QUOTES: "God calls us into different directions, different stages, and different roads to travel sometimes." "Don't sit down and wait for whatever you're waiting for to stumble into your lap. You have to be active, go out, build relationships, talk to people, hone your skills." "Don't die with your story still inside you." "You've got a story to tell. Find a way to get that story out." "To forgive is to set a prisoner free." "The essence of leadership is to serve and give your life for others." "When I don't care about my results, flood gates open."
