"I have had a long and virtually illness free life. God makes no mistakes, nor does nature. There is no luck or coincidence in our lives. It is all according to God's plan and the choices we make. Let me be clear, I do not fear death, only because of my salvation in the afterlife.
The essence of character; your true character is revealed by the clarity of your convictions, the choices you make, and the promises you keep. Hold strongly to your principles and refuse to follow the currents of convenience. What you say and do, defines who you are. And who you are . . .You are forever."
