I think that every therapist that I know including my dad and my sister have their own issues. But that empathy is what makes them good at their job.

Growing up I saw my dad do charity work for children with health issues. That had a profound effect on me.

We busted a lot of family secrets with this. But to make a long story short my parents relationship was built heavily on security issues for my Mom and when my Dad couldn't provide security the relationship unraveled.

On sensitive issues talk isn't cheap - it takes real courage to pry open topics nailed shut.

Women's courage is rather different from men's. The fact that women have to bring up children and look after husbands makes them braver at facing long-term issues such as illness. Men are more immediately courageous. Lots of people are brave in battle.

My message to you all is of hope courage and confidence. Let us mobilize all our resources in a systematic and organized way and tackle the grave issues that confront us with grim determination and discipline worthy of a great nation.

I think the way to change it is to handle issues individually when it's essential to do so.

I hope to bring much more attention to important issues and change for issues and practices that are harming animals.

Those issues are biblical issues: to care for the sick to feed the hungry to stand up for the oppressed. I contend that if the evangelical community became more biblical everything would change.

We talked about many issues like welfare is it the way of life or hand up? Talked about size of government how much should it tax families and small businesses? And when we left that lunch we got in the car and I looked over at Chuck and said 'I'll be damned. we're Republicans.'
