Favorite Quote:
Matthew 6:9--13: "Pray then like this: 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.'"
A friend of mine often says: "Every politician who claims to be for the people (and their vested interest), lives in the community and among the people, is not always for the people, because of their self-centered instincts and personal agendas."
