We went to church every Sunday. I do think it's my duty to give back. That's why I'm involved with St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital and the Make-a-Wish Foundation.

Coming from a family of preachers, the idea of giving back has been part of my life as long as I can remember.

If you are a Christian, you want to give as much as you can away. It sounds pious, but it's not a duty; it's a kind of joy.

For 10 years, I gave away my possessions every year and moved on to a new place.

I cannot bring Christ to my neighbor and to the world if I have not first given him to my family.

I came from a wealthy family. I made over my share of the estate to various charities.

For the most part, I feel really comfortable with what I've given to the people. I want to give it to them again.

I grew up in a strong faith-based family. I think I have selected to return to those roots for strength, for my family, for myself and to protect our children and to forgive others and move on and face forward.

I spend a lot of time thinking about this business of letting go - letting go of the children God gives to us for such a brief time before they go off on their own; letting go of old homes, old friends, old places and old dreams.
