When you put your total faith in God no matter what happens to a person who's a true believer if you die you know you're going to heaven to be with God.

I think there ought to be a strict separation or wall built between our religious faith and our practice of political authority in office. I don't think the President of the United States should extoll Christianity if he happens to be a Christian at the expense of Judaism Islam or other faiths.

Notice the difference between what happens when a man says to himself I have failed three times and what happens when he says I am a failure.

Failure happens all the time. It happens every day in practice. What makes you better is how you react to it.

Whenever something happens that makes me laugh or if I remember something in the middle of the night that I want to share I jot the experience down.

Though 'Fire and Rain' is very personal for other people it resonates as a sort of commonly held experience... And that's what happens with me. I write things for personal reasons and then in some cases it... can be a shared experience.

Something happens to us all when we experience something as a unit that doesn't occur when we're on our couches or holding our little portable DVD players.

Well I think the main message is there is more to your story. There is more than what happens between the crib and the grave and that is what I am really trying to speak to this idea that all of life is this life and that there is nothing more than what we see and experience right here on this earth.

But if somebody dies if something happens to you there is a normal process of depression it is part of being human and some people view it as a learning experience etc.

And so you touch this limit something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power your determination your instinct and the experience as well you can fly very high.
