I learned very early that you don't get time back. I'd miss my children growing up, so that's the reason I retired.

It's one of the things, certainly for me, anyway: I'm learning to take a bigger role in the things that I'm associated with.

I like learning new stuff, also, and I can sit there and watch shows on National Geographic and the Discovery Channel or stuff like that and learn something new. I think once you've gone through such a long stage of learning one thing, you're not as well-rounded as you'd like to be.

People will constantly bring up my past and throw it in my face, but the Creator of the Universe doesn't. If you ask forgiveness from Him, then it's gone forever. The past is never brought up to shame you or degrade you.

As Christians, we sin with anger because we lack faith in God's ability to provide for or protect us.

Acceptance of the power of God in one's life lays the groundwork for personal commitment to both science and Christianity, which so often have been in conflict.

Today I love myself as I love my god: who could charge me with a sin today? I know only sins against my god; but who knows my god?

Unalloyed love of God is the essential thing. All else is unreal.
