I've been giving back since I was a teen, handing out turkeys at Thanksgiving and handing out toys at toys drives for Christmas. It's very important to give back as a youth.

As every flower fades and as all youth departs, so life at every stage, so every virtue, so our grasp of truth blooms in its day and may not last forever.

In all beginnings dwells a magic force for guarding us and helping us to live. — Hermann Hesse

If our worship is just great youth meetings, nice songs, lots of jumping around and a few CDs, then we're missing it. Our vertical expression must have a horizontal effect.

I love talking to the youth and helping them as much as I can or encouraging them, if I can help them at all. — Sheila E.
