FEATURED QUOTES
“God is an example to us of how we need to be a visionary. If he had stopped at the dreaming, none of us would exist.”
“How can I serve one person with my gift? Awkwardly? Humbly? Just one soul. How can I do that? If I throw a concert and only one person comes, it's more than worth it.”
