A Quote by Lottie Moon

The southern white Baptists now want to integrate with the black Baptist church. I say that would be the end of it.

When we say, "Lord Jesus, personal savior", we may not mean the same thing as what they mean.
The truth is this: I am a Southern Baptist, and the great majority of Southern Baptists are lost.

If you just look at the number of roles for women versus the number of roles for men in any given film, there are always far more roles for men. That's always been true. When I went to college, I went to Julliard. At that time - and I don't know if this is still true - they always selected fewer women than men for the program, because there were so few roles for women in plays. That was sort of acknowledgment for me of the fact that writers write more roles for men than they do for women.

No sir, we've got to be Number One, and if we can't make it, we'll rip and tear at the loved one till we've ruined every smidgin of love that was ever there.
