Diabetes is a great example whereby, giving the patient the tools, you can manage yourself very well.

Never delay a prompting. When you honor a prompting and then stand back a pace, you realize that the Lord gave you the prompting. It makes me feel good that the Lord even knows who I am and knows me well enough to know that if He has an errand to be run, and He prompts me to run the errand, the errand will get done.

My folks were very practical. They were also kind of able to think outside of the box. They were not going to let circumstance paralyze them. They knew sometimes you just had to take some new initiative. I think they passed that on to all of us... If you don't find a way, you make one.

You know, many people have said that I'm on the edge and I'm maverick for some of the big operations that I've done. I'm not at all. I pray; I ask God to give me wisdom, 'Should I do it?', guidance in terms of how to do it, who to consult with. All those kind of things are incredibly important.

In my own personal life, God plays a great role in the risk, because I pray before I go into the operating room for every case, and I ask him to give me wisdom, to help me to know what to do - and not only for operating, but for everything.

I prayed about it consistently - that God would direct me in the right path and that, when it would happen, I would know that I'm in the right place.

I always believed I was a Premier League player, but in the first few months when I wasn't getting a game I started to doubt whether I was good enough. Everyone kept on telling me: 'Wait for your opportunity and make sure that you take it' - and that's what I did.

Gosh, my own podcast, Las Culturistas,' is so unstructured and loose. There's no preparation that goes into it. It's just about plugging in and playing.

America's present need is not heroics but healing; not nostrums but normalcy; not revolution but restoration.

If you're going to read a Peretti book, you're going to get a message. But the book is a pretty good read.

For me, it's about being true to myself and being true to our goals and not being afraid to declare what you want.

I seek the Will of the Spirit of God through, or in connection with, the Word of God. The Spirit and the Word must be combined. If I look to the Spirit alone without the Word, I lay myself open to great delusions also.
