And almost every one, when age, Disease, or sorrows strike him, Inclines to think there is a God, Or something very like him.

I felt the Lord at a young age. And it was one of those things where that seed was planted, you know, when I was a kid.

In my adult life, I had spent a lot of time angry at God, mostly over the sudden deaths in my family - my brother at 30, my daughter at 5.

When I was very young I was sort of floored by the fact that my mother and my father and everyone I knew was going to die one day, and myself too. I had a sort of a philosophical crisis. I couldn't believe that we were mortal.

God isn't dead - he's just missing in action.

I can't beleive I'm here to tell the tale, this was my first brush with death, and God must have been looking after us and obviously, it wasn't our time.

I've always been with God, even in my darkest hour. That is why I say I am alive. I mean, I should have died a number of times.

There was one theory put forth by a journalist recently. I have a lot of friends that have died prematurely and a lot of friends that have died of natural causes. I've lost a lot of people over the years. This journalist basically recommended to me that God keeps me around because I amuse him.

God has been God in my life ever since I can remember.
