Not only is your story your truth, your story is going to be the platform and the foundation for everything that's getting ready to happen in your life.

To get where you want to go, you first have to become who God wants you to be.

I think in some ways, it can do a listener a disservice to explain a song. I think I'd rather leave a little room for people to put themselves in it.

Imagine foreign troops sitting idly, laughing as hooligans trashed the Smithsonian, stole the gold from Fort Knox and burned down the Department of the Interior. That was us in Iraq.

The sweeter sound of woman's praise.
