Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
If I'm doing something I do like to take it to the limit. I've got a high ceiling. A wide threshold for seeing what those boundaries are for myself. I'm very resilient inside. I find things that I like and do and boy, I do like to stick to them. I'm not necessarily a guy who gets addicted to more of certain things, but if I find something I like to do, I like to stick to it.

My lawyer has been a good friend of mine for a long time. He and I continuously have conversations.
It's nice when they notice the deep voice from across the house, and they know it's papa. They know it's Dad.
