Even with the sun beaming down on me I'm not sweating in my mind. I'm not sweating in my heart or in my career.

I look back to when I got divorced in the late 1970s. When that happened, I was so broken up. After that, I decided to seek God for my life and my next marriage.

I don't feel like I've nearly got to the place where I'm ready to even slow down.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.
