``I laughed, I smiled and sometime I have cried.
Through the years, I have been mad and sad, but today I am glad. The wind have been knocked out of my sail. I have been a ship drifting in the night without a port or land in sight.''
``Purple is the color of failure and shame.Purple is the color of the robe my Jesus wore, as he was called names.Purple is the color representing royalty and wealth.Purple brings acceptance into this old life. Purple is more than a color. Purple is for life.''
``The door is open my child, salvation is free I paid the price on Calvary. Never give it a second thought you are always welcome in my father's house.''
``Lord help me to find, the person I left behind when I turned my back on you and walked away on my own. All the wordly things you gave me to enjoy i sell to Satan for his toys''.
``I use to look for love in all the wrong places. Places where I felt secure. I looked for contentment as I traveled around. Every place I looked, love nor contentment could be found.
