I have always held firmly to the thought that each one of us can do a little to bring some portion of misery to an end.

In my opinion, Donald Trump lives a life of loving and helping others as Jesus taught in the great commandment. He cannot be bought; he's not a puppet on a string like many other candidates... who have wealthy donors as their puppet masters.

I want to use my connections with coaches, players, celebrities, whomever, and if I can take that friendship and use it to help someone else, I'm going to take advantage of that. I'm not going to apologize for that.

Helping others carries its own rewards, the first of which is a return to humanity.

Proverbs tells us, "The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed; those who help others are helped."12 Those who pass along insights get more from God.

As the little boy said to the Sunday School teacher after being told the reason we are on Earth is to help others: "Then what are the others here for?"

You can have everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want."

You can have everything in life you want if you will just help other people get what they want.

You will have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want.

You truly can have everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want.

Jesus, no one understands a heavy load better than you. No one has ever borne heavier. Bear up under this one with Ann, so she will know her only purpose here is to help others, love expansively, and be your hands and feet, your words of advice and wisdom when opportunities present themselves for her to help Grace and Karen. And yes, Josh and Will and Gabriel. Do whatever is necessary for Ann's success in the days ahead. Show your love to my friend and comfort her by your Spirit. Amen.
