Image
I know that I've been guided by God. I am obedient.
Maya Angelou
Image
I believed that there was a God because I was told it by my grandmother and later by other adults.

I think Clinton, after getting into office and into Washington, was shocked at being bludgeoned. So he spent time trying to be all things to all people - one way guaranteed not to be successful or respected in a lion's den. You can't just play around with all those big cats - you've got to take somebody on.
