• I was always taught that anybody and everything is worth spending time and interest on and there's no reason to pass over anything. So it led me in a route that was just hyper awareness of human beings and care and love. So it's made me at least more open to trying anything, doing everything and experiencing all that I can in this little bit of life that we have.

They were my Uncle Casey's favorite team-and my grandmother's favorite too. After watching the game with them, I was hooked.

• Perhaps we should stop talking about being faithful to have a quiet time with God each day, as if we were doing something to earn a reward.
