After the Berlin Wall came down I visited that city and I will never forget it. The abandoned checkpoints. The sense of excitement about the future. The knowledge that a great continent was coming together. Healing those wounds of our history is the central story of the European Union.

You don't have to be a brilliant historian to know that in Europe, messing with countries' borders, messing with their self-determination, their ability to choose their own futures, this is extremely dangerous, and that's why I think it is important to stand up to Putin.

I think the country requires fresh leadership. I do not think I can be the captain to take the country to its next destination.

I try to stay centered in my faith and my family and the close people around me.

If you will be the best that you can be right where you are, God will promote you and give you more.

My father saw Islam as a way to connect with the community. He never went to prayer services except for big communal events. I am absolutely certain that my father did not go to services every Friday. He was not religious.

Churches need to figure out how they will address the spiritual lives of their staffs and leadership teams.
