It was impossible to build it anywhere else." --

The purpose of prayer is that we get a hold of God, not of the answer.”
“Successful people see an opportunity and they GO for it. They play bigger and go deeper into the circles of success. They don't hold back.”
“Where there is a sufficient social movement of self-reliant communities, there can be political change. There must be political change.”
