I am thankful for all blessings and lessons learned that have given me peace and solace which I try to share with great humility and humbleness.

We are one people until you decide we are one person in the churning sea of humanity.

Your most valuable treasures are the ones which cannot be bought or stolen because they live within your spirit.

Place your faith not in the frailness of "Man" but in the power and glory of the creator and observe what happens next......

Winning doesn't necessarily mean you'll walk away with a trophy. Sometimes winning means you dared to show up at all to see the shocked look of your rivals.

In faith I have a renewing account of Personal Courage which I'll write checks against until this country's most valuable natural resource the Soldier, Sailor, Marine, and Airman are fully supported with the level of dignity and respect we've earned. These checks don't bounce.
