Heaven Plants A Special Seed, And We

I Love Being With My Children. They're Fascinating People.

I Can Look Back At Different Times In My Life When I Felt I Could Not Find My Way Out Of Whatever It Was. I'm Not Necessarily Talking About Marriage, But I Wanted To Pack It In. I Wanted To Disappear. A Lot Of That Has To Do With Being In The Public Eye.

The More Time You Invest In A Marriage, The More Valuable It Becomes.

That Happened When I Was A Freshman In High School. The Guy Reading It [the Bible] Was Dating My Older Sister. I Thought He Was The Cutest Thing That Had Ever Happened In Nashville. He Was Nine Years Older Than Me And I Thought, 'mimi, I Hate To Do This To You, But I'm Going To Steal This Guy Away.' So I Went To This Bible Study Thinking I Was Going To Make This Guy Fall In Love With Me. I Was Fourteen. Hey, You Know. But I Was So Overwhelmed By What They Were Talking About At This Bible Study. I Became A Very Serious, Committed Christian.

There's A Beauty To Wisdom And Experience That Cannot Be Faked. It's Impossible To Be Mature Without Having Lived.
