I haven't had the best past with my father, but today we are reconciled. Today there is no record of wrong, no bitterness in my heart. Today I can say with every fiber of my flesh that I love my father, and I honor you this day.

There are only so many cheeks to turn before you die of torture by repetition, or your anger is somewhat justified.

I will forever believe in second chances and forgiveness, because if it weren't for those two things I would and should be dead.

As a man is taught, so he thinketh. As he thinketh, so is he. Generation after generation of ill-prepared and incompetent fathers concerned with their own image instead of their family's well-being. This world is in desperate need of real figures to take the plate and show the rest of them what they're doing wrong and how to do it right.

Take a walk through the garden of forgiveness and pick a flower of forgiveness for everything you have ever done. When you get to that time that is now, make a full and total forgiveness of your entire life and smile at the bouquet in your hands because it truly is beautiful.

Your heart beats a rhythm I just can't stop dancing to.
