“I began to pray those same fervent prayers, lying in bed at night, hop...” — James Green Somerville Quote

I began to pray those same fervent prayers, lying in bed at night, hoping to see a scroll unrolled from the ceiling with a message from God just for me.

I dropped out of school for a semester, transferred to another college, switched to an art major, graduated, got married, and for a while worked as a graphic designer.

John the Baptist was supposed to point the way to the Christ. He was just the voice, not the Messiah. So everybody's calling has dignity to it and God seems to know better than we do what is in us that needs to be called forth.

I have to confess that there have been some times when I was less than glad to be a minister, and some Sundays still when I tremble under the weight of trying to speak a word for God.

I'm fortunate that I'm employed. And if you're in show business, of course, every night you go to bed and go, oh my god, tomorrow I'll never, ever work again.

I never get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day.

I'm diligent about using eye drops and ointment before bed, which seems to minimize the frequency and severity of corneal abrasions. When I wake up now with an abrasion, I know I need to stay calm and effectively treat the pain. I can usually get back to sleep within a couple of hours.

I feel lazy every day! It's the worst thing for me to wake up in the morning and get out of bed, and that is where the discipline comes in.
