brings comfort deviate form god good known people produced songs written
Most of the people you see me working for me are actually with me. And I'm proud to say that I've known them for 20 years almost. I've written songs with, produced songs with them a lot of times. I don't deviate form my comfort zone. I feel like when God brings people to you, it's good to keep 'em around.

calm courage crisis failures faith fall fight good hold matter motion opinion past picture ready refuse refusing renounce screen showing stand stay successes support throw turn
Stand up to crises. Don't let them throw you! Fight to stay calm... even surmount the crisis completely and turn it into an opportunity. Refuse to renounce your self-image. No matter what happens, you must keep your good opinion of yourself. No matter what happens, you must hold your past successes in your imagination, ready for showing in the motion picture screen of your mind. No matter what happens, no matter what you lose, no matter what failures you must endure, you must keep faith in yourself. Then you can stand up to crises, with calm and courage, refusing to buckle; then you will not fall through the floor. You will be able to support yourself.
aware floor good kids letting opportunity passes played saw scoring straight
At Two Eagle, not letting up defensively, we played basketball. We scored 90 points. We were patient, we made passes and we saw the floor. We were much more aware of what was going on the floor at Two Eagle. We played straight man-to-man. Everyone had the opportunity to play a lot of minutes; the kids had the opportunity to get experience. We had good scoring and very good defense.
college good-times pastor
I started out in the ministry, went to college, started as a pastor, pastored for basically 25 years. That was a good time, I really enjoyed it.
good-day people secret
When I made that statement that the person discovers the secret of their success by their daily agenda, all of a sudden it hit me that if I could teach people to make today count; if I could really teach them what they need to do today to have a good day, that tomorrow would really take care of itself.
annoyed lifestyle love plans sort
I love my last-minute lifestyle because I just sort of don't have plans, and things kind of happen. Plans make me annoyed a little bit, personally. I'm not the most prompt, on-time person.
assisting background fear
I will say to all the fellas out there that, seriously, I am a setup. I'm just like rose petals. I'm like incense. I'm a background thing for you when you do your thing with your lady. I'm a friend, only assisting you in your lurve machinations. So have no fear of me, people.
putting
Songs are not on a conveyor belt. I'm not chopping them up and putting them out.
trying
In your 20s, you're just a sketch of what you think you're trying to be.
money people sing songs took wars
A part of me was like, 'Man, do I even like doing this anymore?' That whole thing of 'I'm in my 30s, and I sing and write songs while people are fighting wars in Iraq.' You know? So everything had to have more meaning, and it couldn't just be about making money. So, I took a minute.
embody karaoke maturing music
I'm really maturing into soul music. It's not my attempt or karaoke try. I feel like I really embody the music now that I am 36.
work
I remember where I'm from. It's like, 'Dude, you used to work at Pizza Hut.' I still have the hat.
confident easier grain people
I'm pretty sensitive. My feelings get hurt a lot easier than people think, but I try take it all with grain of salt. For a relationship, I want someone who is really secure, confident and fulfilled, not tripping with what I do.
