When I took over from my father, he came from the Southern Baptist background, and back 40-50 years ago, there was a lot more of that.I don't believe - maybe it was for a time. But I don't have it in my heart to condemn people. I'm there to encourage them.

Maybe you’ve invested a lot of time, effort, money, emotion, and energy in a relationship you did your best to make it work out. But for some reason, things got off course.
