At first glance, this story of one man's life, might appear remarkable...and it is.  It might appear to be about a herculean effort to overcome illiteracy and stuttering and a difficult childhood... it's that, too.  But a closer look reveals something more - a story of faith and the God who filled in insurmountable gaps on the way to a dream.  A plan for a life that many believed down-right impossible.  Read it - and believe all that is possible. "As an individual, there is nothing remarkable about my abilities or my intellect.  I was simply blessed to be born in the greatest country on earth and blessed to have been surrounded by wonderful people who stood in the gap at every vital moment in my life.  They, too, are ordinary people, and most readily admit they serve an extraordinary God.  I'm not smart enough or wise enough to advocate a religion to anyone, but I know what's worked for me.  I know that in all the darkest , loneliest moments of my life, when I felt the world was against me and the winds of conventional wisdom were in my face, in those moments, God held me in the palm of His hand.  His Son, Jesus Christ, died so that I might live.  His sacrifice set the stage for every success I've been blessed to achieve thus far.  When to the outside world it appeared I was stepping out on nothing, I was standing in the center of God's hands.  He's got big hands.  There's plenty of room."
