“Being deeply contented with God in my everyday life is a focused attitude. It is always available. It means practicing letting go of my obsession with how I'm doing. It means training myself to learn to actually be present with people, and seeking to love them.”

“Nobody lives up to the norms that God had in mind when he first created human beings.”

“People cheer the Bible, buy the Bible, give the Bible, own the Bible - they just don't actually read the Bible.”

“I was fortunate to play for Pete Rose and have teammates like Ken Griffey Sr., Tony Perez and Dave Concepcion. I grew up in the game with a mature attitude. I've always known it was better to be seen and not heard.”

“Virtually nothing is impossible in this world if you just put your mind to it and maintain a positive attitude.”

“I didn't want to play in the reserves. It was the wrong attitude. I could have trained for myself, so when I got the chance I was ready. I didn't do that. I was just training and going home. That was just a waste of time. That's why Wigan is a closed book.”
