“You can’t tell me that love is not stronger than fear—because it is. You can’t tell me that love is not the most powerful force for change in the world—because it is.”
“I always thought it was me against the world. This organization [Thistle Farms] loved me back to life.”
“This whole world is in an uproar. And the only way we are going to be able to live in peace and unity is for love to come into the picture.”
“I could have responded to my father’s death in a lot of different ways, but the way I responded to it was not the right way because I thought I could cover up the pain with a chemical, and it manifested itself into just a horrible life. But God has brought me out of that, and I have done more living in these past 11 years than I did in the first 50 or so…the first four, five decades of my life were in ruins, but God has forgiven me of all my sins, which are many, and now he has blessed me to be able to go back out there and to tell women that there is a way out, that we do get our lives back.”
“God chased me until I found him.”
“Come to Thistle Farms…and you’ll see, it’s as clear as night and day, the difference that love has made in our lives.”
