The most consistent musical experience I had growing up was church music.

I started my teenage years singing in churches across America, and finally wound up on a big stage.

Life is a process, and you just take it a day at a time, and you can't live in tomorrow, and you can't reach back and be in yesterday. No matter how much you want to, you just have what's right there in front of you.

I'm frustrated by something, it's my fault for exposing myself to it in the first place. The rumor mill always seemed like a grass fire to me. Why walk out in the middle of the field, it's just going to flame out and go away just like everything else does?

So many people don't know that God loves them. They feel, 'Why would God love me? Why would He be interested in me?'

I used to believe in God as a child. God, for me, was linked with hope.

Liberals do not appear to address potential solutions with anything like the far right's aura of God-given self-confidence.

It comes with faith, for with complete faith there is no fear of what faces you in life or death.
