If I am a servant of God, I am under no tyranny; for God does not govern, but supports, sustains, and directs me.

I ran for president. I ran for governor twice. And I've been the governor now for nearly seven years.

In sports, you learn self-discipline, healthy competition, to be gracious in victory and defeat, and the importance of being part of a team and understanding what part you play on that team. You all work together to reach a goal, and I think all of those factors come into play in my role as governor.
