“I am very blessed that I am married to one of the funniest guys in the world, and I have kids who are funny.”

“In order to process a lot of grief, God gives us humor.”

“There is something funny about all of us being stuck at home.”

“God gave us this gift of creativity and humor and it’s not just to be hidden for ourselves. It’s to be shared with the world.”

“I think that when you are open to the Lord’s plan, it’s going to make your life a lot easier. Because if you’re constantly fighting with what your vision of what your will is, you’re going to be miserable.”

“Don’t get divorced. That’s my advice. There’s a million reasons to get divorced. But what if you had to work it out? What if you looked at your marriage as a covenant?”

“You have to go into your marriage with love and forgiveness at the forefront of your agenda.”

“My mother was the one who sowed the seeds of faith in me.”

“I just want to tell everyone that your experience right now is meaningful in some way in your life…There is a bigger reason for it. And I would just ask everyone to read about the passion of Christ right now, this week, and see what God is trying to tell you.”
