Clergy sexual abuse is not an affair; pedophilia is not about struggling with difficult circumstances; molesting adolescents is not about a struggling marriage.
Such things must be called by their right names—the abuser needs to be held responsible for their abusive behavior.
Brilliant!! 😂

One day you’ll realize that your mom wasn’t decorating the house for Christmas because she had extra time.
She was doing it because she wanted you to have memories.
The lights. The cookies. The same decorations every year.
All that effort was love.

The measure of love is sometimes how much future we're willing to protect for someone we've never met.

You don’t have to be the loudest person in the room to make a difference.
Kindness counts. Faithfulness counts. Showing up counts.

Marathons bring out several layers of humanity.
The determination of those running, sacrifices of families supporting them and generosity of volunteers.
The compassion of 10s of 1,000s of strangers cheering for people they'll never meet again.
The tears, smiles, struggles and celebrations. It’s so cool to see.
For 26.2 miles, sport reminds us - once again - that despite our differences, we're far more connected than divided.
As I continue to remind people consistently, the greatest moments in sports have absolutely nothing to do with winning.

I’ve never seen America more united than it was on 9/12/01.
We weren’t divided by race, political party, nor religion. We were all united as Americans.
May we once again come together again, united as one nation under God!
