Always gives me what I want, as long as it doesn't cost too much… He told me the other night how he loves that he comes home and the house is in order…When you're feeling down and blue and big and pregnant he tells me that he thinks I am the most beautiful woman in the world.

I did not have family devotions growing up. I went to a Christian school and had a Christian home, but that was just something that we never did together. I think that it made it harder for me to be committed and do a daily devotion on my own. It made that harder.

My husband and I were watching the movie Zorro. He was sitting in the theater with his arms crossed and just being really bored. And then on the screen came the leading actress. And he sat straight up in his chair and he goes, "Now this is a movie!"

I want to marry someone who's tall and handsome and rich, and hates spinach as much as me.

Sometimes I'll write down general goals, just into a notebook, or on a piece of paper, but it's usually not all at one time, it's usually periodically.

I would say that too often, I say, do as I say, and not as I do. Which is not something that I'm thrilled about. I'm certainly more aware of how I say things as well as do things.

I relate to Mary Magdalene in that, because she was forgiven much, she loved much. And I can relate to Lazarus because he was in the tomb, and Christ called him out and gave him another chance at life. And basically, that's exactly what happened to me.

I think junior high is a tough time for a child because of peer pressure. I think it's really important that you've trained your child in advance to be able to go through that stage.

That very first Christmas, I don't know what was going through my head, but I bought her this great pair of long underwear. That did not meet what her expectations were!

But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today, in the town of David, a Savior has been born to you. He is Christ, the Lord! This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger. Suddenly, a great company of the heavenly hosts appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests!"

I remember when I was 29 years old. My dad was dying with cancer, and I had just made a major career change, my wife was unexpectedly pregnant with our first child. That all happened within a three-month period. It was hard.
