If your heart is open and you have an open mind, the blessings will flow.

As a Christian, Christ died so that we will have eternal life in Him in Heaven. What it looks like doesn't matter, what it smells like doesn't matter, as long as Christ is there it will be Heaven to me.

When it comes to bringing an idea that God has given you to fruition, don't wait for it to happen again, you have to get out there and make it happen.

The lifting up of the woman does not require the tearing down of the man. In fact, a strong woman appreciates a strong man. Conversely, a strong man is not intimidated by a strong woman.
