My father was a minister for 50 years with Pentecostal Church of God in Christ. We prayed about everything, every day, then he always said, Amen. God is love. I thought God is love was one word. Like Godislove. And it took me a long time to learn what that really meant.
Denzel Washington
You have to grab moments when they happen. I like to improvise and ad lib.
