Basic to our democratic civilization are the principles and convictions that have bound us together as a nation. Among these are personal liberty, human rights, and the dignity of man. All these have their roots in a deeply held religious faith -- in a belief in God.

When a nation is on the downward path, when it feels its belief in its own future, its hope of freedom slipping from it, when it begins to see submission as a first necessity and the virtues of submission as measures of self-preservation, then it must overhaul its God.

I see God through my children. I speak to God through my children. I am humbled for the blessings He has given me.

I truly believe I've been blessed by God, and God walks with me.

God gives us things to share, God doesn't give us things to hold.

Every day I feel is a blessing from God. And I consider it a new beginning. Yeah, everything is beautiful.
