IT IS BY CHOICE AND NOT BY CHANCES THAT WE CHANGE OUR CIRCUMSTANCES.

Even the closest relationships that I have I know could potentially fall away. That’s not to speak pessimistically or negatively about those relationships. In a weird way, it’s the opposite. I value them.

I speak my mind. I just speak my heart. I will not turn away from any question.

I have had fun being who I became, so to speak.

You speak bad of me, I score goals.

What I always wanted to do when I was a kid was to speak out and help people which I continue to do afterwards.

At synods, I usually wait about a week before I speak. First I listen. I feel the temperature. I listen to what has been said, what has not been said, and what I think needs to be said at that point.

Beauty should be the goal of your communication. Learn to speak with godly wisdom.

I sympathize with a mother who has three mouths to feed—especially if two of those mouths are on her face. With a woman like that I’d listen twice as hard for doublespeak. I’m pretty accustomed to picking up on political rhetoric.

I had a dream about you. The lettuce in my sandwich was crunchier than your conversation, and all I could hear when you spoke was myself chewing. You made such a tasty conversation that I can’t even remember what you said.

Every few words you speak, every little help you offer and every small advice you give mass up tiny miracles that can change someone’s life forever!

Talk to strangers politely. You don’t how many of them will become your close companions.
