The Gospel is about grace and we all know that grace is about us receiving from God blessings that we don't deserve.

I would write down the lyrics to 'C.R.E.A.M.' in Korean - not translating it, but phonetically writing out each word. I didn't know what they were saying, so I would just write everything down as I heard it. I would recite it and imitate it like that. That's how I started to write my own raps.

I didn't know if I would ever reconcile with my family, and I needed to believe that I could forgive, regardless.
Man wants to be reconciled to God; wants to know that the past is forgiven.
You have to really understand how people speak, and you have to reconstruct it... Most pleasure in writing, you know, is in inventing.
As a former minority leader who became the first Republican Speaker of the House in Florida since Reconstruction, I know that leadership is not an easy task.
